[protege-discussion] question about 'using protege forms in other appications'

[Samson Tu]

If you are using OWL, it's best to ask your question on the 
protege-owl at lists.stanford.edu list.

I don't think the sample code on 
http://protege.stanford.edu/doc/pdk/using_forms_in_other_applications.html 
works for OWL.
