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)
If you would like to read detailed release notes for each 3.2 beta build, please see the release notes page on the main Protégé Web site.
