ab: Summary: Usability is generally regarded as ensuring that software products
    are effective and efficient to use from the user’s perspective.
    Diverse aspects that ensure the usability of a software product should
    be assessed during the different phases in its life cycle. The goal of
    usability testing is to evaluate whether or not a tool that is being
    developed will be usable by the end user in order to achieve the tasks
    for which it is being designed. This paper is targeted at describing
    the evaluation and the usability of OWL-VisMod, a visual modelling tool
    for OWL ontologies, from the point of view of the human-computer
    interaction. This evaluation is based on a user-centred approach and
    the use of questionnaires. The whole usability evaluation process is
    described and the results are discussed.
