I'm pleased to read of your positive experience with VocBench for ontologies. As I am more of a taxonomist than an ontologist, I had long been interested in VocBench's capability as a SKOS taxonomy/thesaurus management tool. I include it in the section of taxonomy management software in my book, The Accidental Taxonomist, since the 2nd edition in 2016. I had not been able to successfully install VocBench myself yet (I am not so technically inclined), but I might give it another try with your instructions. I had been given a demo of VocBench which focused more on the taxonomy aspects by its developer, Armando Stellato, when I was in Rome in 2019.

Thanks Bob DuCharme! Your walkthrough helped me get VocBench running on my Linux VM. Your walkthrough shows that VocBench may be easier to use than Protégé, at least for your stated purposes: load a simple schema and create a new class(es), properties, and instances, then run SPARQL and load SKOS. Doing simple things should be easy. The load and export functions are intuitive.

Keith M. And as I mentioned, for the fancier features, the Test Drive looks like it demonstrates a lot of them.
