Jambalaya is a plug-in created for Protégé which uses Shrimp to visualize the knowledge bases the user has created. Protégé is a “an ontology editor and a knowledge-base editor”, developed at Stanford University, which allows domain experts to build knowledge-based systems by creating and modifying reusable ontologies and problem-solving methods.

Jambalaya was developed with support from the National Center for Biomedical Ontology. Jambalaya uses the Piccolo zooming library developed by the Human-Computer Interaction Lab (HCIL) at the University of Maryland.
