Release Notes
New Bundled Plug-ins
Axiome
Axiome is a plug-in for SWRL rules elicitation and management (read more).
BioPortal Reference Plugin
The BioPortal Reference Plugin allows users to insert references to external ontologies and terminologies from BioPortal into their ontologies. The plug-in works with the latest BioPortal 2.2.2 release. A generic Java library for accessing BioPortal services was implemented as part of this plug-in. The library is available in the bioportal_services_lib.jar in the <your-protege-install-dir>/plugins/edu.stanford.bmir.protegex.bp.ref folder.
- Read the BioPortal Reference Plugin user's guide and other documentation.
- Read documentation on the Java library for accessing BioPortal services.
Lucene Query
Lucene Query is a tab plug-in that provides a wide variety of ways to search an ontology (many features are specific to OWL ontologies). Examples of Lucene queries against the NCI Thesaurus are:
Preferred_Name sounds like onkoejene ... or ... Find all classes that have a necessary or sufficient condition connecting them to genes found in a human organism
The tab allows users to search for resources (individuals, properties or classes) by specifying such things as:
- A data or annotation property value of the resource is a match for some search criteria. Available search criteria include exact match, strings starting or ending with a specified string, phonetic match, and Lucene query match.
- A property value is either missing or present. This search works for annotation, object, and data properties.
- The absence or presence of a necessary or sufficient condition that includes a restriction with a specified property.
In addition, Lucene Query searches can be combined. Users can form conjunctions or disjunctions of primitive Lucene Query searches and can search for classes with necessary or sufficient conditions that contain a restriction with a class matching a query.
Updates to Existing Bundle Plug-ins
Included a new version of DataMaster (version 1.3.2), which contains a fix to work with PostgreSQL databases that have database schemas defined. DataMaster is documented on this wiki.
