You may also sign in with your OpenId account (e.g. Google, Yahoo, etc.). The first time you will sign in with your OpenId, you will be asked to associate the OpenId account with a WebProtégé account. For future sign ins, you can simply use the OpenId account. To change the preferences for the OpenId accounts, go to the ''Options menu -> Edit profile'' after you signed in. More information on the sign in with OpenId is found [[WebProtegeOpenId|here]].

== Introduction to the user interface ==
 
In building the user interface of WebProtégé, we were inspired by the Portal metaphor, in which users can customize the content and layout of the UI. The WebProtégé user interface is made up of tabs (e.g., Classes Tab, Property Tab, etc.). Each tab contains several ''portlets'' (e.g., the class tree, property values, restriction editor, notes, etc.). The user is able to resize and rearrange the portlets in a tab by drag-n-drop. More information on customizing the WebProtégé layout can be found [[WebProtegeLayoutConfig|here]].
 
 
 
=== My WebProtégé tab ===
 
The first time you access WebProtégé, you will see the ''My WebProtégé'' tab.  This tab lists all of the ontologies that are available for viewing and/or editing. Simply click on an ontology name in the ''Name'' column to open the ontology. You will only see the ontologies to which your user has access to. If you did not sign in, you will see a list of public ontologies. To test the editing capabilities, you may sign in with the username ''Guest'' and password ''guest'' (case sensitive).
 
 
 
It is also possible to connect to the WebProtégé ontologies through a desktop client. Both the desktop and the web client are linked to the same [[Collaborative Protégé]] server. All the edits made in the desktop client will be reflected back right away in the web-client and vice-versa.

=== Classes tab ===
 
After you have opened an ontology, you can view the ontology class hierarchy on the Classes tab.  By selecting a class in the Class Tree, you can view the class properties, axioms, notes, etc., in the portlets to the right of the class tree:

WebProtégé User Guide


WebProtégé is an open source, lightweight, web-based ontology editor.



Go back to WebProtégé main page.

Looking for the user guide of the old WebProtege (release 1.0)? Here it is.

(TBD)

Other tabs and portlets

WebProtégé has a configurable user interface, and each user can customize the layout and save it for future sessions. The user may choose from a list of existing tabs and add portlets dynamically from the user interface. It is also possible to create a new empty tab and add the needed portlets through drag-n-drop. More information on the layout configuration can be found here.

References

Further documentation and references on WebProtégé can be found here.
