tools for generating semantic web based on ontology

Question

what is the differencce between creating ontology in protege IDE and creating RDf/ontology in netbeans using jena?

i am using this tutorial http://jena.sourceforge.net/tutorial/RDF_API/ for creating RDF in netbeans using JENA.

Answer 1

It's all a matter of convenience for the person creating the ontology. Creating an ontology using Protégé doesn't require any programming knowledge, and can be quite quick and easy once you are used to the interface. However, you can't automate the process, for example converting CSV or other data sources into RDF. with Jena, it's harder work to create the ontology (you have to write Java code, not just point and click on the GUI), but the end result is easier to repeat and easier to automate.

At the end of the day, however, the ontologies created by either route are equivalent in terms of what they can express in OWL.
