Manual
The OilEd user manual. This is also included in the distribution.
Checker
The DAML+OIL Checker is a servlet that uses the OilEd codebase to check the syntax of DAML+OIL ontologies and returns a report on the classes and properties in the model. Note that this service will not always be available. In addition, as the machine that provides the service sits behind a firewall, you may experience problems with ontology URLs using protocols other than HTTP.
Tutorial
Angus Roberts has produced a brief tutorial introduction to OilEd. This does not cover the details of DAML+OIL, but gives an overview of which buttons to press.
