Accessing the collaboration features programatically (The Changes and Annotations API)
Protege provides support for collaboration through the Collaborative Protege extension: e.g., tracking changes, annotating ontology components (classes, properties, etc.) or changes (creation of a class). This wiki page describes how to access the change tracking and the annotation information programatically.
Other relevant documentation: the Changes Tab, the Collaborative Protege paper, the paper describing the Changes and Annotation ontology.
The change tracking information and annotation of ontology entities and changes is stored as instances of the Changes and Annotation Ontology (ChAO). This wiki page shows how to access this information programmatically.
The ChAO KB Manager
One of the most important classes is the edu.stanford.bmir.protegex.chao.ChAOKbManager found in the change-model.jar from the edu.stanford.smi.protegex.changes plugin folder.
