    Where it stands

    Rank, growth pace and release cadence relative to everything GStars tracks.

    5 releases in the last 90 days, the latest 6 days ago, with 10 contributors on GitHub.

    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Plan, apply, and roll back changes to production ontologies while generating verifiable proofs for auditors.
    • Provides a formal, trustless certificate that any third party can independently verify without needing the original software or network.
    • Use for safely managing ontology updates in production environments with clear impact analysis and rollback capabilities.
    • Use for auditing and compliance workflows requiring independently checkable proofs of ontology reasoning and validation.
    • Use for integrating ontology reasoning and validation into automated CI/CD pipelines with formal verification guarantees.

    From the README

    Plan a change to a production ontology. See every consequence before you apply it.

    Then give the reviewer a proof that they can check without trust in you.

    Open Ontologies is written in Rust. It ships as one binary.

    Put in one spreadsheet. Get one ontology, with the evidence for each line. Then change one cell, and see the shape find the error. The page runs the released binary.

    The engine is MIT, and it stays MIT. The platform is the hosted version of the engine.

    426 asserted, 259 certified, 1 rejected. The engine derived the green edges. A Lean 4 checker then proved them. One certificate holds all 259, and one run of the checker accepts it. The red edge is a forged line. The same checker refused that line, gave exit 1, and named the rule. The run supplies each count. Nobody writes a count into the caption.
