I would like to compile a list of ontology modelers, as of this writing a search on this site for "Modeling Tools" comes up dry. Do you know any modeling tools (ontology editors), good or bad, other than those I've listed? (limit answers to those utilizing one or more semantic web standards: OWL, RDFS, SKOS, etc.). (None that are seemingly inactive please) Here's what I have: Modeling Tools/Ontology Editors
I only have experience with the first two, but I prefer using Top Braid Composer.
This question is marked "community wiki".

I've compiled a list of ontology editors on a wikipage, to which anyone can contribute. For your convenience, I reproduce the current list here:

This answer is marked "community wiki".
(I work for Cambridge Semantics, who sells the Anzo products.) In addition to generating ontologies from spreadsheet data, Anzo for Excel includes an RDFS & OWL ontology editor within Excel. Because of that, I've removed the parenthetical in the wiki. (Well, I tried to remove the parenthetical, but got a 500 system error. Oops!) |

The Sweet Compendium of Ontology Building Tools is very comprehensive : http://www.mkbergman.com/862/the-sweet-compendium-of-ontology-building-tools/ The list doesn't have a rating for each tool but it does include comments about their status. |

There's another list on Wikipedia. It doesn't seem to include anything major that's missing here (I've just gone through it and weeded out a lot of bad stuff and fixed links). |

To make things easier, you might want to start a community wiki with this as the answer for people to edit.

Fluent Editor is worth considering. It employs concept of editing ontologies with (controlled) natural language, is compliant with OWL2 and SWRL and allows to build complex scenarios with importing and referencing external ontlogies. There is a new version:
