Refactor | Rename entities...
Back to Protege 4.0 refactor menu
Refactor | Rename entities...
A set of entities can have their URI replaced (or changed) in a single operation by using the rename entities action.
- Select the menu Refactor | Rename entities...
- The following dialog appears (see right)
- Try typing in the find box. All entity URIs in the ontology will be searched for the text entered in here.
- Commonly, the user wants to replace the entire base with another, so common bases are readily selected using the dropdown.
- All matching entities are shown in the preview window (with the match highlighted in their URI).
- Initially, each of these entities is likely to be crossed out, denoting that the replace operation would result in an invalid URI for that entity.
- Enter a value in the Replace with box (again, the dropdown can be handy for this).
- Hopefully the result will be valid for all entities - ie none will be crossed out.
- Individual entities can be removed from the rename operation by simply unticking their box.
- Press OK
All of the selected entities will now have a different URI.
You can undo the entire operation with a single Edit | Undo.
