Description

The InstanceTree widgets allow navigation of frames that are directly and indirectly referenced from an instance in a tree structure. There are three separate widgets that are accessible from within the Protege user interface:

  • The InstanceTree tab displays instances of a class as root nodes of trees, where each tree consists of frames that are referenced directly or indirectly by a root instance through own slot values. Selecting an instance in the tree displays the form associated with the instance. Thus it allows you to browse and edit, in a single window, all the frames reachable from instances of a selected class. Clicking on a slot name highlights the widget associated with the slot.
  • The KnowledgeTree tab allows a user to specify a root node for an instance tree. Thus it shows a "top-level" instance and allows navigation to instances "contained" in that instance.
  • The InstanceTree slot widget, when associated with a slot of type Instance, displays values of the slot as root nodes of trees.


Installation

All of the InstanceTree widgets are bundled with the "full" installation of Protege.
