WebProtege Notifications

Introduction to WebProtege Notifications

• It's important to note that WebProtege distinguishes between two types of changes - ontology and comment. Ontology changes are additions to trees, or changes in properties, every change that is not a comment. Comment changes are only made when someone adds a new comment or replies to an existing one. The notification delay for each of these can be configured independently.
• WebProtege supports several types of interval:
  • Immediately means you will be notified every few minutes of changes to entities or branches you are watching.
  • Hourly means you will be notified every hour of changes to entities or branches you are watching.
  • Daily means you will be notified once every day of changes to entities or branches you are watching.
