Refactor | Extract/move axioms...

A set of axioms can be extracted/moved from an ontology. Selection can be made by several different algorithms.

• Select the menu Refactor | Extract/move axioms...
• A wizard will guide you through the process which involves the following steps:
  • Select ontology choose which of the loaded ontologies you wish to move axioms from
  • Select method different ways of selecting the axioms you wish to move (see screenshot and below for a description)
  • There will then be one or more screens (dependent on the method) by which you can select a set of axioms
  • Copy, move or delete axioms decide what you want to do with the selected axioms
    • Selecting copy or move allows you to select a target ontology:
      • Select target ontology choose whether the target ontology is one already loaded or if a new ontology is to be created.
      • You will then go through the steps to pick or create an ontology
    • Selecting delete will then allow the wizard to end
• Press OK

The ontology into which the axioms were moved should now become active to allow you to browse the changes.

You can undo the entire operation with a single Edit | Undo.
