Display ontologies defined with <owl:imports> #24

Open nataschake opened 1 year ago

nataschake commented 1 year ago

Hi! There is a common practice that a big ontology family uses <owl:imports> to group things thematically. There can be an ontology consisting only of imports, like, e.g. this one created to keep all the parts of Digital Construction ontologies. Is it possible to visualize such ontology in OntoTrek?

This looks like an enhancement. And I would like this too.

Btw, I may be misreading you, but you may want to consider importing ontologies that represent objects according to their domain (scientific classification, interest-neutral design) rather than by theme (interest- or application-based grouping). The OBO foundry and BFO-based ontologies, being examples of what I refer to.
