Clean-up of the Changes Ontology

Starting with Protege 3.4 beta 129, we have added a new feature available through the Changes menu (which is activated when the ChangesTab is visible). Users are able to delete from the Changes ontology the change instances and/or the annotation instances. The user is also able to create an archive of the current Changes ontology before the delete operation.

This feature is available by going in the Changes Menu -> Clean-up Changes Ontology. The following dialog will come up:

The dialog that comes up when selecting Clean-up Changes ontology from the Changes menu

  • If the user selects Delete annotations - then all the annotations in the Changes ontology will be deleted.
  • If the user selects Delete changes - then all the changes in the Changes ontology will be deleted.
  • If the user selects Archive changes ontology before deleting - then an archive of the current version of the Changes ontology will be created before the deletion takes place. The archive will be saved in a subdirectory of the folder where the Changes ontology resides. The subfolder will have the name "annotation_prjName.parc" (prjName is the name of the main project). Inside this folder multiple archives (from different times) of the Changes ontology may be present. The subfolders of the "parc" folder are named using the date and time of the archival. For example, if the archival of the Changes ontolog of pizza (annotation_pizza.pprj) took place at 2008-03-13 at 10:03:04, then the following folder strcuture will be created:
annotation_pizza.parc
|___ 2008.03.14_10.03.04
      |____annotation_pizza.pprj
      |____annotation_pizza.rdfs
      |____annotation_pizza.rdf

Note: This functionality is available in stand-alone mode. In client-server mode, the "Clean-up changes ontology" will not be available.
