Fig. 4.2 Branch of VISO for atomistic-mesoscopic models (viso-am); the diagram was generated using the OWLViz protégé plugin; grey arrows labelled “is-a” denote subsumption (), i.e.
rdfs:subClassOf. A black (pointing left/right) triangle symbol within an ellipse indicates that
some of the (super-/sub-) classes of the given one are omitted from the current visualization
• viso:is_compatible_with relates two tools that are able to exchange information
directly, with no need to interface. Domain and range: viso:software_tool.
• viso:involves, i.e. (X involves Y) means that there is a mathematical expression
or an algorithmic formulation of X that contains Y. Domain: viso:software_tool_
