Tutorial: Getting Started with Protege-Frames
Protege Web site | Protege Wiki | About the Protege Team

Understanding ontologies
This tutorial gives an introduction to Protege-Frames, an extensible, platform-independent environment for creating and editing ontologies and knowledge bases which allows users to begin designing an ontology quickly and intuitively. You will learn how to create, modify, and save a Protege-Frames project. You will create a project called "tutorial," which contains a few of the classes and slots from the newspaper example that accompanies the Protege-Frames installation. Once you have read the tutorial, you will be ready to explore Protege-Frames on your own.

Not all Protege users will be familiar with ontology design and development. Therefore, in addition to introducing you to the Protege-Frames interface, this tutorial gives a quick overview of some of the basic concepts of ontology design and draws heavily on the concepts described in the Ontology Development 101 paper. If you are familiar with ontology design, you can skip directly to Creating and Saving a Project.
