Summary:Linked Open Data and its consuming services are increasing in the areas of electric government, bioscience researches and smart community projects. Therefore lightweight ontologies used for those areas are also becoming important. This paper proposes a web-based ontology editor that is an ontology building service especially for the lightweight ontologies. It is designed not only for ontology experts, but also for users and/or developers of consumer services, that is, non-experts of the ontology. Thus we focused on ease of use, no installation, cooperative work environment, and also provided sample applications to keep the users' motivation. Furthermore, it offers a function that extract pairs of <property, value> belonging to a certain instance of a class. First, we introduce the design and the implementation of our ontology editor, and then present the extraction mechanism of <property, value> pairs and confirms its accuracy in experimental evaluations.
