[protege-discussion] Converting OWL to ERD

[Tania Tudorache]

Natasa,

Please ask OWL related question on the Protege OWL mailing list.

Protege has its own database backend for storing ontologies. If you are 
interested in using the database backend, I suggest that you take a look 
at [1]. The screenshot is a little bit old, but you will get the idea.

There is also a plugin, DataMaster [2], that imports data from a 
database into an ontology. The current version does not support the 
export of an ontology to a database, which seems to be what you want.

I am not aware of an OWL to ER models translator, but google might help.

In Protege there is also the possibility to write your own Export plugin 
that will output the ontology in any format you would like, for example 
in your own database.

Please ask in future OWL related questions on the Protege-OWL mailing list.

Tania
