New Features of Protégé-OWL since the
3.1.1 Release
Last update: July 31, 2006
Please note: we are recommending that Protégé-OWL users download the
3.2 beta version (rather than the 3.1.1 release) to take advantage of new enhancements and critical bug fixes.
- New expression syntax ("Manchester
syntax") using
keywords instead of symbols (default option)
- Operators of allValuesFrom (A) and someValuesFrom (E) restrictions
are now in infix notation
- Support for user-defined XML Schema datatypes
- A new import repository mechanism replaces the ont-policy approach to import management
- Widgets on the Individuals tab show red borders around cardinality
and datatype constraint violations
- Support for SPARQL
- For programmers: Better integration with Jena
- A new OWL Metrics panel has been added to the menu
- The annotation area has been refactored into a (multi-line) table spanning the whole width
- An upward tree of superclasses can be opened below
the classes tree
- The prefix xsd: is no longer needed and displayed for XML Schema
datatypes
- A new (experimental) RDF/XML writer for OWL files can be activated
in the preferences
- The source code viewer can now also display imported files (using
the new native RDF/XML writer)
