Protégé

Jump to: navigation, search

The Protégé platform supports two main ways of modeling ontologies via the Protégé-Frames and Protégé-OWL editors. Protégé ontologies can be exported into a variety of formats including RDF(S), OWL, and XML Schema.

Protégé is based on Java, is extensible, and provides a plug-and-play environment that makes it a flexible base for rapid prototyping and application development. Protégé is supported by a strong community of developers and academic, government and corporate users, who are using Protégé for knowledge solutions in areas as diverse as biomedicine, intelligence gathering, and corporate modeling.


[edit] Plugins usados

OwlViz is designed to be used with the Protege OWL plugin. It enables the class hierarchies in an OWL Ontology to be viewed and incrementally navigated, allowing comparison of the asserted class hierarchy and the inferred class hierarchy. OWLViz integrates with the Protege-OWL plugin, using the same colour scheme so that primitive and defined classes can be distinguished, computed changes to the class hierarchy may be clearly seen, and inconsistent concepts are highlighted in red. OWLViz has the facility to save both the asserted and inferred views of the class hierarchy to various concrete graphics formats including png, jpeg and svg.


To install OWLViz, simply unzip the OWLViz.zip file into the Protégé Plugins folder, which will create folder named ‘uk.ac.man.cs.mig.coode.owlviz’ containing the necessary jar files.


Why am I getting "An error related to DOT has occurred" when trying to use the OWLViz plug-in?

If you are trying to use the OWLViz plug-in, and you see the following error message: dot error message ... it means that you have not successfully completed two of the steps necessary for properly configuring OWLViz. You must do the following in order for the plug-in to work:

  1. Download and install a copy of Graphviz, which is a free, open source graph visualization software from AT&T Research.
  2. On the OWLViz tab, click the Options button to bring up the Options dialog. On the Layout Options panel, specify the path to the location of the DOT executable. The panel will look something like the following screenshot:
