== Description ==

In recent years, collaborative ontology development has become one of the 'hot topics' in the ontology and Semantic Web communities. [http://protege.stanford.edu/ Protege 3.4.x] already provides features that allow people in a community to edit simultaneously an ontology, to discuss about the ontology content and to document these discussions in the context of the ontology. Users are also able to start change proposals, vote, to browse and discuss the change history of an ontology component. Other features include a chat, search and filtering of the dicussions in the ontology. We have called the extension of Protege that supports community-based ontology development [[Collaborative_Protege|Collaborative Protege]].


Collaborative Protege is an extension of the existing [http://protege.stanford.edu/ Protege] system that supports '''collaborative ontology editing'''. In addition to the common ontology editing operations, it enables annotation of both ontology components and ontology changes. It supports the searching and filtering of user annotations, also known as '''notes''', based on different criteria.
