摘要：Comprehensive Ontology is used in different contexts with different authors. Ontology comprehension is a collection of techniques that facilitate the understanding of ontologies. These tools are being applied for further development in various disciplines for better understanding knowledge. These tools commonly use six methods, namely, Indented List, Node-link and tree, Zoomable Visualization, Space-filling, Focus + context or distortion and 3D Information landscapes. The purpose of the work is to present a study on application of these six methods in the development of different kinds of Comprehensive visualization Ontology tools and categorize their characteristics so that it assists in method selection and promotes further future research in the area of ontology visualization. This paper overviews different technology for ontology visualization. It is an attempt to summarize existing literature related to ontology visualization and provide comprehensive cataloguing of existing method characteristics as well as record their strong points and weaknesses in relation with user tasks.
