Welcome to Ontohub,
the free and open ontology repository engine.


Ontohub is an open ontology repository which supports organisation, collection, retrieval, development, mapping, translation, and evaluation of a wide array of ontologies formalised in diverse languages.

Ontohub has provided technological infrastructure for the FOIS 2014 and FOIS 2016 Ontology Competitions.

This wiki entrance aims at providing instructions and support to the Ontohub users. See also FAQ.

Key features of Ontohub:

  • publishing & retrieval: OntoHub is a free ontology repository that allows you to publish your ontology and find existing ontologies that are relevant for your work.
  • development: OntoHub supports ontology development. Since OntoHub is based on Git repositories, OntoHub supports ontology versioning, branching, and merging.
