Protege 4.x Preferences

This page contains a guide to customising Protege 4.x through its preferences menu.

Control over the visibility of given annotations.

Control over how the find / search functionality behaves. eg searching using full regular expressions can be slow for large ontologies.

Control how URIs and labels get generated when creating new classes/properties and individuals (including automatic ID formulation).

Also see New Entity Preferences for a more detailed description of these preferences.

Control over the default behaviour when creating ontologies from scratch.

Download or update plugins using the plugin preferences.

Control how entities are displayed using the renderer preferences.

How deep to open up hierarchies when they are first shown.

Control over what axioms are shown in the usage views. Hiding some axioms can make the view more concise.

Simple subclass axioms subclass axioms that have a named superclass or for which the current class is the superclass

Control over the form of XML serialisations (eg whether or not to use XML entities to shorten file length).
