Edit this plugin

Manage multiple ontologies, create a mapping between ontologies, merge separate ontologies to create a single coherent ontology, extract a part of an ontology, and move frames from an included to an including project.

New in PROMPT 3.0

• Mapping mode: create a mapping between two ontologies, and execute the mapping using a mapping interpreter
  • Make sure to check out the page on Configuring Prompt Projects.

• Plug-in architecture: plug in your own mapping algorithms for initial comparison of ontologies or your own user interface components
  • For developers: developing plugins for Prompt
  • Available Prompt plug-ins (these plugins are installed when you install Prompt):
    • CogZ: use Jambalaya-style visualizations for mappings
    • FOAM in Prompt: use the FOAM algorithm for mapping
    • Synonyms: if you have synonyms for your terms, have Prompt use synonyms in creating lexical mappings

Tips and tricks

• Using the Mapping Ontology with Prompt
• Saving mappings while performing a merge
• Accepting and rejecting changes between versions for specific users
• SavingDiffPromptPlugin Saving the diff result in your own format
