[protege-discussion] Read-only slots?

[Tania Tudorache]

Hi Len,

I am not sure what you mean. One interpretation is that the values of a 
slot for the instances of a certain class should be read-only. But there 
are other interpretations, too.

In any case, Protege does not have an API level control access 
mechanism. The isEditable call is not helping, because it is not used in 
the API, but only in the GUI. One thing that is already available is to 
have the ontology opened as read-only also for the programmatic access.

What are you trying to control? Do you want to configure the UI 
programmatically to set a widget read-only (which is easy), or do you 
want "real" access control at the API level - which is hard (e.g. you 
have other software invoking the Protege API, and you want to throw an 
exception if the caller tries to set the values of a slot). For the 
first case, there is an easy solution. For the second case, there is a 
complicated solution.
