More Details
Protege-Frames implements a knowledge model which is compatible with the Open Knowledge Base Connectivity protocol (OKBC)]. In this model, an ontology consists of a set of classes organized in a subsumption hierarchy to represent a domain’s salient concepts, a set of slots associated to classes to describe their properties and relationships, and a set of instances of those classes - individual exemplars of the concepts that hold specific values for their properties.
Features
Features of Protege-Frames include:
- A wide set of user interface elements that can be customized to enable users to model knowledge and enter data in domain-friendly forms.
- A plug-in architecture that can be extended with custom-designed elements, such as graphical components (e.g., graphs and tables), media (e.g., sound, images, and video), various storage formats (e.g., RDF, XML, HTML, and database back-ends), and additional support tools (e.g., for ontology management, ontology visualization, inference and reasoning, etc.).
- A Java-based Application Programming Interface (API) that makes it possible for plug-ins and other applications to access, use, and display ontologies created with Protege-Frames.
