The Protégé-OWL editor is bundled with the "full" installation of the Protégé platform. You have two options during the install process:
  • Choosing the "Everything" option during the install process will install the Core Protégé system, the Protégé-Frames editor, the Protégé-OWL editor, and many optional plug-ins.
  • Choosing the "Basic + OWL" option during the install process will install the Core Protégé system, the Protégé-OWL editor, and only those plug-ins which are compatible with OWL.

Recommended Optional Components:

  • OWLViz - 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. Please note that this plug-in is now included in the full installation of the Protégé platform.
  • OWL Wizard - helps reduce some of the effort in building models via automation of common modelling tasks and encourages good modelling practices. Please note that this plug-in is now included in the full installation of the Protégé platform.
  • OWLDoc - generates JavaDoc style HTML page documentation for OWL ontologies. Please note that this plug-in is now included in the full installation of the Protégé platform.
  • ... and many other Protege-OWL plug-ins from our collaborators in the CO-ODE project at The University of Manchester.
  • DL Reasoners (e.g., FaCT++, Pellet, Racer) - used to do intelligent reasoning on OWL ontologies. When you start DIG compliant reasoners together with Protégé-OWL, you can use the classify and check consistency buttons. Classification will find the correct position of a class in a hierarchy using the logical definition of the classes. Consistency checking will detect classes that can not have any instances.
