Description

OntoBase is a plug-in that turns Protégé into application container that can be easily programmed and connected to different data sources. It allows Protégé to be used as Model and View for simple database applications. OntoBase can also be used as “back end” for Protégé in order to store parts of knowledge base which must be shared with other applications. In its current form OntoBase can be simply “snapped on” any relational database to provide access to data, virtually without any programming.

Installation

The OntoBase Tab can wotk with "basic" or "full" installation of Protege 3.x

1) Extract OntoBase_X.X.X.zip into Protege installation root directory.

2) Open New Project using Protege Files (.pont and .pins).

3) Go to Project->Configure and check ONTOBaseTab box.

4) When OntoBase window appears enter JDBC address of database and click connect button.

5) Wait until connection is established and then click on "run" icon.

Note: If import does not start in a few moments or stops before 100%, then you may need to adjust application memory allocation by editing following line protege.lax file

lax.nl.java.option.java.heap.size.initial=100000000
The protege.properties file is located in the root directory of your Protege installation
