This page posts a download link for OilEd, a freeware ontology editor for building ontologies using Ontology Interchange Language (OIL).

In addition to building ontologies, OilEd allows the user to use the Fast Classification of Terminologies (FaCT) reasoner to check the consistency of ontologies, add implicit subClassOf relations, and export ontologies in a number of formats, including both Ontology Interchange Language Resource Description Framework (OIL-RDF) and DARPA Agent Mark Up Language Resource Description Framework (DAML-RDF).

OilEd is not intended as a full environment for development of large-scale ontologies. It is designed to be the "NotePad" of ontology editiors, best suited to tasks such as learning to build ontologies and demonstrating how the FaCT reasoner can be used to check and enrich ontologies.
