About the tutorial
This tutorial will introduce attendees to the basics of editing ontologies in Protégé. We will introduce the basics of editing OWL ontologies and using reasoning to verify consistency and infer the structure of the users' ontology [1]. We will discuss how to set up Protégé to work in a distributed collaborative environment with multiple users contributing to the content and carrying out discussions to reach consensus [2]. We will also give a brief overview of the various Protégé tools and plug-ins for ontology visualization that facilitate ontology comprehension [3].
Tutorial topics
Protégé basics for OWL ontologies
- Defining classes and the class hierarchy in Protégé; inheritance
- Basic OWL features:
- domains and ranges of properties;
- restrictions;
- disjoint classes
Defining individuals
- Individuals basics
- Custom-tailoring the forms to acquire information about individuals
Using Protégé for collaborative ontology development
- Setting up the Protégé server
- Using the Web client and the desktop client
- Adding comments and discussions
- Setting up user roles and privileges
Reasoning with OWL ontologies
- Setting up a classifier
- Using a description logic classifier with a Protégé ontology
- Using explanation and debugging facilities
Ontology visualization facilities in Protégé (time permitting)
Faculty
