Protege-OWL FAQ

We have put together a wiki page to answer the most commonly asked questions about the 4.x series of the Protege application:

Getting started / Tutorials

Editor Features

Further setup / configuration


Protege 4 Plugins

Finding Plugins

  • From build 104 P4 will find plugins and updates for you. See our Auto Update page.
  • Plugins for Protege 4.x OWL editor - the list of "Compatible Plugins" on this page is the result of a semantic query that gathers all plug-ins that have declared themselves compatible with the 4.x version of the Protege-OWL editor.
  • CO-ODE Protege 4.x Plugins - the CO-ODE group at the University of Manchester is the biggest contributor of plug-ins to the Protege-OWL editor. This is a good place to go to download early releases and source code for CO-ODE developed plug-ins.

Advertising Plugins
