More Details

Description

OntoBase is a plug-in that turns any relational database into ontology, and Protégé - into application container that can be easily programmed and connected to different data sources. It allows Protégé to be used as "Model" and "View" for simple database applications. OntoBase can also be used as “back end” for Protégé in order to store parts of knowledge base which must be shared with other applications. In its current form OntoBase can be simply “snapped on” any relational database to provide access to data, virtually without any programming.

Installation

The ONTOBaseTab can work with "basic" or "full" installation of Protege 3.x Note: OntoBase now requires JDK 1.6. To make sure Protege loads with correct JVM change following line in protege.lax file

lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.6.0_04\\bin\\java.exe

1) Extract OntoBase_X.X.X.zip into Protege installation root directory.

2) Open New Project using Protege files(.pont and .pins) or XML file

3) Go to Project->Configure and check ONTOBaseTab box.

4) When OntoBase window appears enter JDBC address of database and click connect button.
Following are some examples of JDBC database URLs:

jdbc:oracle:thin:@machine_name:port_number:instance_name
jdbc:mysql://host_name:port/dbname 

Note: JDBC driver corresponding to entered URL must be specified in following line of protege.lax file

lax.class.path=protege.jar;dbdrivers/ojdbc6.jar;dbdrivers/sqljdbc.jar;


5) Wait until connection is established and then click on "run" icon.

Note: If import does not start in a few moments or stops before 100%, then you may need to adjust application memory allocation by editing following line in protege.lax file

lax.nl.java.option.java.heap.size.initial=100000000
The protege.lax file is located in the root directory of your Protege installation
