An applet that allows construction of ontologies is listed in the body 
below.  By tracking around his web site, I uncovered another one at 
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Haven/4006/VMW/akolonin.html 
visual mind works.
The applet described below is available for download for free, but not for 
commercial use without a license.  It is not open source, but the API is 
documented so that you can use the jar file as a library and extend the 
functionality.  The applet can run standalone or within a servlet, the 
source code for which is included.
Cheers
Jack
These are worth looking at.

>Three years ago, "World Wide Mind" project was launched.

>Goals
>- To create the working model of distributed interactive knowledge base on 
>internet
>- To allow connected users interactively maintain their private subsets of 
>knowledge within global knowledge base
>- To force the generalization of private knowledge subsets into global 
>knowledge
>- To support the knowledge exchange feature by knowledge subsets merging 
>between private knowledge's
>
>Means
>- Mind definition language, based on such a languages as Lisp, Prolog, 
>Smalltalk, SQL
>- High-level knowledge exchange protocol to allow knowledge exchange 
>engines communicate one with other
>- Real-time client-server knowledge exchange engine running on any machine 
>in the internet
>- 2-D or 3-D interactive graphics tool to allow visual maintaining of the 
>distributed knowledge
>
>Here is announcement that software, server-side support and even some basic

>There are stilll a lot of things to improve

>- in documentation
>- in the code
>- in the web site design

>but all of the major components are there and
>software is tested using Win and UNIX platforms.
