Abstract
This chapter describes tools that help us to work with ontologies and to apply them to improve information access. We start with a general survey on various aspects of ontology tooling and give examples. Then we describe a tool that was among the first to merge the ontology paradigm with the Web, helping to create the research field that is now called the Semantic Web. Its description gives us an example that illustrates the different requirements to make ontology technology work. Then we discuss some professional tools now available on the market.
