__TOC__

== Working with the Protege source code ==

=== Preliminaries ===

TODO: We need a high-level description here about how the 4.x source code is organized, since it's different than the 3.x series, e.g. we are using the OSGi plug-in architecture now, etc.

Before loading the Protege 4 sources into Eclipse, developers need to decide if they want all of the Protege sources in one big project or if they want separate projects for each of the Protege 4 plug-ins. We put together a list of [[OneBigProjectVsSeveralSmallProjects|pros and cons of working with one big project vs. several smaller projects]]. You may want to read the condensed version first (below), which often leads to an answer:

* Eclipse developers will generally favor having several smaller projects. Eclipse provides nice support for defining extensions and extension points and will detect problems in both manifest files and the plugin.xml files.

* Plug-in developers will generally do better with several smaller projects since they do not need to make changes to the core Protege sources. They can also choose an appropriate Protege 4 build to create runnables.

* Non-Eclipse developers who are working with all the Protege sources (e.g., the Protege development team or developers who need tight coordination with Protege sources) will probably prefer to work with one single large project.

Once this decision has been made, please refer to the next section on compiling and running Protege 4. Instructions for both methods of working with the source code are outlined in detail.

=== Compiling and Running the Protege-OWL editor ===

* [[CompileProtege4InEclipse|Compile and run the Protege 4 OWL editor in Eclipse]] - this page gives directions for compiling Protege 4.0 sources in Eclipse where ''each bundle is created as a separate Eclipse project''.

* [http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~iannonel/eclipseSetup/eclipseSetupMain.html Compile and run the Protege 4 OWL Editor in Eclipse] <b>(External link)</b> - this page gives directions for compiling Protege 4.0 sources in Eclipse where ''all bundles are encapsulated in one Eclipse project''

* [[CompileProtege4InEclipseOneProject|Compile and run the Protege-OWL editor in Eclipse]] <b>(In Progress)</b> - this page gives directions for compiling Protege 4.0 sources in Eclipse where ''all bundles are encapsulated in one Eclipse project''.

=== Writing a simple view plugin (with example code) ===

A short guide to [http://www.co-ode.org/downloads/protege-x/plugin-code-example.php writing a plug-in] to show the class hierarchy.
This doesn't delve deeply into setting up your build environment, but concentrates on a simple code example and making sure you understand the components and the structure of a plug-in.

Cburleson: /* Manchester OWL syntax */

= DL Query tab =

[[Image:Protege4DLQueryTab.gif|left|thumbnail]]
The DL Query tab provides a powerful and easy-to-use feature for searching a classified ontology. It is a standard Protégé 4 plugin, available both as a tab and also as a view widget that can be positioned into any other tab. The query language (''class expression'') supported by the plugin is based on the Manchester OWL syntax, a user-friendly syntax for OWL DL that is fundamentally based on collecting all information about a particular class, property, or individual into a single construct, called a frame.

== Getting started ==

If the DL Query tab is unavailable in your Protégé workspace, make sure the DL Query item in the Tabs menu is checked. Alternatively, you can add the Query view widget to any other tab by selecting View > Misc views > Query and then placing the widget anywhere in a layout.

You can only execute a query on a classified ontology. Before attempting to execute a query, run a classifier:

* Ensure that one of the built-in reasoners (a.k.a classifiers) is selected. From the Reasoner menu, select FaCT++ or Pellet. When you first select a reasoner, the active ontology will be classified. You can also select Reasoner > Classify... to classify again at any time.
* Validate that your ontology is classified by selecting the Entities tab and then the Inferred Class Hierarchy tab that appears in the class hierarchy view. It should contain classes that sub-class Thing. If you see only the root class, Thing, your ontology may not be classified. Following is an example comparing what an Inferred Class Hierarchy looks like before and after classification.

[[Image:UnclassifiedVsClassifiedOntology.gif]]

* Once you've validated that your ontology is classified, you can execute a query.

== Simple query examples ==

Suppose we have an ontology like this:

* Class:
** Person
* Data Properties:
** hasGivenName
** hasSurname

And suppose also that we have several hundred instances of class Person in our ontology. To find an individual named "Matthew", we could enter the following query:

'''hasGivenName value "Matthew"'''

But clicking on the execute button may not return any results. We also need to check the "Individuals" option. Any individuals found will then be displayed in the query results as shown below:

[[Image:DLQueryResults.gif]]

The following query would also be valid for the same result:

'''Person and hasGivenName value "Matthew"'''

We could also show all instances of person by simply providing the class in the query like this:

[[Image:DLQueryIndividualsOfAClass.gif]]

Of course, these are extremely simple queries; the Manchester syntax is much more capable.

Literal constants can be expressed with type by using ^^ and then the type:

'''hasAge value "21"^^long'''

Or, a more general expression that uses type:

'''hasAge some int'''

Following are just a few more examples to get you going:

'''hasChild some Man'''

'''hasSibling only Woman'''

'''hasCountryOfOrigin value England'''

'''hasChild min 3'''

'''hasChild exactly 3'''

'''hasChild max 3'''

== Manchester OWL syntax ==

We have only provided a few simple examples here designed to help you understand how to use the DL Query tab and the Query view widget. To learn more about the Manchester syntax, check out these resources:

* [[http://www.co-ode.org/resources/reference/manchester_syntax/ The Manchester Syntax]] - describes the syntax for class expressions and is aimed at people who already know the previous Protege-OWL compact class expression syntax.

To see a listing of plug-ins specific to the Protege-OWL editor, go to the Wiki article for the [[Protege-OWL_4.0|4.x version of the Protege-OWL editor]]. The list of "Compatible Plugins" on this page is the result of a semantic query that gathers all plug-ins that have declared themselves compatible with the 4.x version of the Protege-OWL editor.

The CO-ODE group at the University of Manchester is the biggest contributor of plug-ins to the Protege-OWL editor. As such, users may be interested to look at the [http://www.co-ode.org/downloads/protege-x/plugins/ Protege 4 Plugins] page on the CO-ODE Web site, which a listing of only those plug-ins developed at the University of Manchester. This is a good place to go to download the source code for CO-ODE developed plug-ins.

If you have developed a plug-in for Protege-OWL and you would like to contribute it to the community, go to the [[Protege_Plugin_Library|Protege Plugins Library]] and click the the "New Plugin" button.

== Wish List ==

Following is list of considerations for improving Protege 4, its documentation, and/or this wiki.

* Provide [http://www.co-ode.org/resources/tutorials/protege-owl-tutorial.php A Practical Guide...] here as a collection of wiki pages so that the guide can be more easily shared, searched, modified, commented on, referenced by section, extended, etc.
* Consider "Add Tab" feature in the Tabs menu that would allow users to add an empty tab (e.g. "My Tab"), and thus have a place to assemble personal layouts from a clean starting point. At minimum, at least one empty "My Tab" could be provided.

To see a listing of plug-ins specific to the Protege-OWL editor, go to the Wiki article for the [[Protege-OWL_4.0|4.x version of the Protege-OWL editor]]. The list of "Compatible Plugins" on this page is the result of a semantic query that gathers all plug-ins that have declared themselves compatible with the 4.x version of the Protege-OWL editor.

The CO-ODE group at the University of Manchester is the biggest contributor of plug-ins to the Protege-OWL editor. As such, users may be interested to look at the [http://www.co-ode.org/downloads/protege-x/plugins/ Protege 4 Plugins] page on the CO-ODE Web site, which a listing of only those plug-ins developed at the University of Manchester. This is a good place to go to download the source code for CO-ODE developed plug-ins.

If you have developed a plug-in for Protege-OWL and you would like to contribute it to the community, go to the [[Protege_Plugin_Library|Protege Plugins Library]] and click the the "New Plugin" button.

== Wish List ==

Following is list of considerations for improving Protege 4, its documentation, and/or this wiki.

* Provide [http://www.co-ode.org/resources/tutorials/protege-owl-tutorial.php A Practical Guide...] here as a collection of wiki pages so that the guide can be more easily shared, searched, modified, commented on, referenced by section, extended, etc.
* Consider "Add Tab" feature in the Tabs menu that would allow users to add an empty tab (e.g. "My Tab"), and thus have a place to assemble personal layouts from a clean starting point. At minimum, at least one empty "My Tab" could be provided.
