Hi all, we are investigating tools for ontology development and would like to know what is your experience with topbraid EDG and LACES, is there any other tools better suited for ontology development using shacl as well?

    metaphacts provide comprehensive ontology and vocabulary modeling tools with metaphactory. See https://metaphacts.com/product/semantic-knowledge-modeling and some relevant blog posts:

    Documentation for ontology modeling: https://help.metaphacts.com/resource/Help:VisualOntologyEditing The modeling is done using a combination of OWL (for basic class and property declarations) and SHACL (for cardinalities and restrictions), see https://help.metaphacts.com/resource/Help:VisualOntologyEditing#supported-ontology-constructs for details. There is also aGit integration and comprehensive support for versioning, etc. We provide a free trial, so you can try this for yourself, e.g. running with Docker or our hosted trials.
