Ontologies are defined as "the formal specification of a shared conceptualization of a domain of interest" [7] . Unlike most other ontology engineering methodologies, the DILIGENT methodology aims specifically at the collaborative and distributed building of ontologies, providing a rich argumentation framework in order to quickly proceed with building the ontology and tracking all relevant discussions about the conceptualization. Based upon first experience with DILIGENT, we designed a tool to
