[protege-discussion] Re : using Ontoclean in Protege

[vbertaud at aol.com]

Thank you Laurent  for your clear advise. But I still don't manage to assign metaproperties to my classes.
 
My Protege ontology is in owl. 
 
Step 1: I have installed the PAL Constraint Tab (Project menu, Configure)
 
Step 2: I included the Ontoclean Ontology in my project. There is no "Include" option in the "Project Menu" as stated in  <http://protege.stanford.edu/doc/users_guide/projects/including_a_project.html>. I used the "Import Ontology" option in the Metadata tab. I imported the ontoclean owl ontology (ontoclean-dl-v1.owl) in my ontology.

Step 3: I don't manage to change the metaclass of my top-level classes because there is no "Change Metaclass of class" option in the menu. As explaned in http://protege.stanford.edu/doc/users_guide/classes/metaclasses/change_meta.html>, there should be an option "Change Metaclass".
This option does exist when using a protege frame ontology.
 
I wonder if Ontoclean can be used in a Protege OWL Ontology.
 
Best Regards
 
Valerie

Hi Valerie,

In case you are using a Protege ontology, make sure you followed the 
instructions (for which step do you encounter difficulties?):

 From the website:
"

    * Make sure you have installed the PAL Constraints tab
      <http://protege.stanford.edu/plugins/paltabs/PAL_tabs.html>
    * Include
      <http://protege.stanford.edu/doc/users_guide/projects/including_a_project.html>
      the OntoClean ontology in your project
    * Change the metaclass of your top-level classes
      <http://protege.stanford.edu/doc/users_guide/classes/metaclasses/change_meta.html>
      and their subclasses
      <http://protege.stanford.edu/doc/users_guide/classes/metaclasses/change_meta_sub.html>
      to "OntoClean property." If you know that your class is a type, a
      quasi-type, a phased sortal, etc., you can change its metaclass to
      any of these more specific subclasses of "OntoClean property."
      Then some of the values for metaproperties will be set automatically.
    * Set appropriate values for meta-properties for your classes
    * Use the PAL Constraints tab to verify your constraints"

 
In case you are using Protege-OWL or just to have more updated info, check:

 http://www.ontoclean.org/

 It includes an OWL version of ontoclean.

 Bonne chance!

Laurent.
