Viewing Plugins
To see a listing of plug-ins specific to the Protege-OWL editor, go to the Wiki article for the 4.x version of the Protege-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.
The CO-ODE group at the University of Manchester is the biggest contributor of plug-ins to the Protege-OWL editor. As such, users may be interested to look at the Protege 4 Plugins page on the CO-ODE Web site, which a listing of only those plug-ins developed at the University of Manchester. This is a good place to go to download the source code for CO-ODE developed plug-ins.
Adding Plugins
If you have developed a plug-in for Protege-OWL 4.0 and you would like to contribute it to the community, follow the following steps:
- Go to Plugin Page and click the new plugin link.
- Choose a name for the page that discusses the new plugin.
- Click "Add or Edit"
- Be sure to add "Protege-OWL 4.0" (exactly like so without the quotes) in the compatibility field.
- Fill in the other fields.
- When you are done save the page and make sure that your plugin shows up on the 4.x version of the Protege-OWL editor page.
Wish list
To follow is list of considerations for improving Protege 4, its documentation, and/or this Wiki.
- Convert A Practical Guide Guide to Building Ontologies... to a collection of Wiki pages so that the guide can be more easily shared, searched, modified, commented on, referenced by section, extended, etc.
- Consider an "Add Tab" feature in the Tabs menu that would allow users to add an empty tab (e.g., "My Tab"), and thus have a place to assemble personal layouts from a clean starting point. Perhaps provide a minimum of one empty "My Tab" in the user interface.
