Add 3rd party tooling section #25

Closed filip26 closed 4 months ago

filip26 commented 4 months ago

Hi, I hope you don't mind sharing LEXREX, a visual tool supporting yml2vocab as export/import format. I've found no other way how to let authors of yml2vocab know, please feel free to close this PR.

LEXREX (~ Lexicon Rex) - semantic vocabularies visual builder and manager

selected features:

It's an experiment, PoC, especially the UI/UX. Just a simple app you can use without login, data is stored locally. Feedback is very appreciated and welcomed. Especially if you are the target audience and think this is a dead end.

Thanks @filip26. Two different reactions...

  1. As a simple user. As you said, the UI is still in flux, so I would not get into the details there but, I must admit, I get the same feeling as often with such tools (like Protégé), namely that I lose the overall picture of the vocabulary. Maybe it is only me, but a visual representation of a vocabulary as a whole is much more helpful for me than a nice UI to edit individual items. After all, YAML is simple, so I do not feel the need of having such a visual UI, although I may probably be biased. (I use Visual Studio Code which automatically does some editing help and that is enough for me.) Just food for thought.

    At the moment, the yml2vocab project is very much bound to the Verifiable Credential WG usage, I do not know of anyone else using it. External, and unbiased users' opinion would probably be more useful than mine...

  2. As a maintainer of the project, I could see a better possibility: adding a separate section at the end of the Readme file, which just gives a very short overview of your project with a pointer. If there are several such tools then we can migrate it into its own file on the repo, for the time being it is o.k. like that. Why don't you provide a PR in this direction (and close this one), and we can then take it from there?

@iherman thank you for the feedback. Please let me think about the next direction.
