{{PrF_UG_TOC_projects}}<div id='prf_ug'>

There are two ways to create a new {{#var:Pr}} project:

<ul class='a'>
<li>
create a completely new project


<li>
create a {{#var:PrF}} project from existing text files or from a table in a JDBC database

</ul>

To create a project:

<ol class='a'>
<li>
Create a new project:


<ul>
<li>
create a project on startup by selecting Create New Project from the start-up dialog


<li>
or create a new project from the {{#var:Pr}} window by selecting File | Create New,
clicking the New Project
[[Image:PrF_UG_projects_project.new.gif|projects_project.new]]
button,
or entering Ctrl-N (Cmd-N).The Create New Project dialog box will open.
 <div>[[Image:PrF_UG_projects_create_new_project.png|projects_create_new_project]]</div>

</ul>

<li>
The following
[[PrF_UG_files_project_types|project types]]
support the {{#var:PrF}} format:


<ul>
<li>
[[PrF_UG_files_protege_files|{{#var:Pr}}]]
[[PrF_UG_files_protege_files|Files]]


<li>
[[PrF_UG_files_database_backend|{{#var:Pr}}]]
[[PrF_UG_files_database_backend|Database]]


<li>
[[PrF_UG_files_xml_support|Experimental XML]]Normally,
unless you have a need for a specific structure (e.g.,
for exporting files),
you would select {{#var:Pr}} Files.
If you wish to help the development of the XML backend,
you can select Experimental XML.

</ul>

<li>
To import a project from existing files,
select Create from Existing Sources.
You can create a project from existing files in {{#var:Pr}} Files or {{#var:Pr}} Database format.
[[Image:PrF_UG_files_create_from_existing_checkbox.png|files_create_from_existing_checkbox]]To create a new,
empty {{#var:PrF}} project,
leave this unchecked (the default).


<li>
Click Finish.
The {{#var:PrF}} window will open and the standard tabs will become visible.
An initialized knowledge base will be created,
containing the system classes rooted in :THING.
No instances will be created.
You can now structure your project by creating your classes and slots. (See
[[PrF_UG_classes_create_class|Creating a New Class]]
and
[[PrF_UG_slots_create_slot|Creating a Slot]]
for more information.)


<li>
To save the project to disk,
select Save from the File menu.


<li>
Enter a name for your project in the Project line of the dialog box.
This is the name of your project (.pprj) file. {{#var:PrF}} also creates internal files for its own use.
By default,
these files are given the same name,
with a different extension.

</ol>
