Protege 4.1

Please install Protege 4.1 release candidate 5 (build 235).

This version of Protege should not need any configuring.

Previous version required configuring to ensure labels (OBO names) are displayed in all components instead of IDs. Try loading an OBO file to test this (it should load straight in, even though the dialog box asks you to choose and OWL file). If you can only see IDs in the class hierarchy, then you should configure following the instructions here:
