Hi all,
Please have a look at new version of GrOWL applet.
http://ecoinformatics.uvm.edu/dmaps/growl/GrowlApplet.html

which renders http://ecoinformatics.uvm.edu/dmaps/growl/camera.owl 

Now property restrictions are attached to respective nodes either they
are specified via  superclasses or via intersections. This brings owl
close to conventional OOP thinking, away from DL semantics inherited in
OWL syntax. 
(Was it really necessary to inherit DL semantics  in OWL?) 

Classes versus instances as well as properties versus property values
are pictured in different colors. Advice is needed on what labels to use
for instances and subclasses. Although such  labels (and colors) are
easily configurable (see RenderGrowl.java) and in the future user will
have chance to configure those as one likes, still it is highly
desirable to have crisp labels for subclasses and instances (former
is-a:: and is-a:).
