Examples

Domain Hierarchy Creation

The following image is a tree map rendering of a domain model for neuroscience with focus on cognition and brain chemistry. Inclusion indicates the subClassOf relationship and the size of the boxes indicates the number of instances of the category.

Connected Domain Model creation

after the fact extraction step, the model has added named relationships. The following image shows one strongly connected component of the model. The category hierarchy has been hidden for better visibility
