1. summary A guide for editors of the ontologies hosted by this project. Start here!

Introduction

This page is intended as a guide for editing the suite of ontologies hosted on this site.

Protege setup

The following assumes Protege version 4.1, OBI version.

Working with multiple, interlinked ontologies

Checkout and managing imports

Checkout of full repository currently => all the files you need to import in a single directory. This is likely to change in future as the repository evolves and if/when we want imports to resolve to copies held in other repositories. At this point we will need a standard Protege imports library xml.

Editing multiple ontologies in one session

This is possible, although can easily lead to accidentally saving edits to the wrong file. If you attempt this:

  1. Choose the ontology you want to edit from the list at the top of the Protege window:

[1] [https://arthropod-anatomy-ontology.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/images/ont_pick_list_open.png

  2. Make sure your ID prefs are set for the ontology you are editing !

Relations (object properties)

Relations used in this project are currently maintained in caro_2.owl. IDs and full definitions for relations come from ro.owl. This is likely to change in the near future so that relations and relevant imported terms are mireoted in from ro.owl.
