Plug-ins
Protege-OWL
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.
