Description

The Instance Selection Tab allows navigation of frames that are directly and indirectly referenced from an instance in a tree structure and the selection of instances for further data preparation to export instance values in different formats for data mining.

There are four main features provided by the plug-in as following:

  • Tree Navivation (an extended version of the InstanceTree tab) - displays instances of classes as a tree while which allows the user to browse and edit the instance using its associated form.
  • Instance Selection - allows an user to select/deselect an instance from the tree for further data preparation. The widget allows navigation to instances "contained" in that instance and highlight its structure and slots in both associated form and data preparation pane.
  • Data preparation - the data preparation pane allows multiple manipulation of instances, slots values and browsing of related knowlegde such as selection of multivalued fields for export.The pane edition is intergrated with the instance form, slot widget, instance tree allowing all edition to be performed in one unique pane and user interface.
  • Instance export - after the selection and preparation of instances the user is able to export and convert the data into several formats in order to be imported by different data mining workbenches such as Weka.

The selection of instances for data preparation is also available through both an extended version of Query Tab and an extended version of TGViz Tab.
