Zusammenfassung
Ontologies continuously become larger and more complex, and therefore more and
more difficult to maintain, to edit and to develop by one single person or a small group of experts.
The basic principle of Web 2.0, on the other hand, is to use the willingness and knowledge of
a huge community of users to create rich user-generated content. The obvious idea that comes
to mind is to combine the technologies of the Semantic Web with the trend of the Web 2.0. In
this paper we present UbisEditor, an easy-to-use web tool for the creation and manipulation of
structured collective knowledge represented as ontologies. This web ontology editor is realized as
part of the UbisWorld project (http://www.ubisworld.org) and already supports ontology editing
techniques like adding new concepts, renaming and deleting, but also the creation of personalized
ontology views.
