[protege-discussion] uri, frames, owl or not

[Richard Bogosian]

If I don't provide a web address, the Continue button remains disabled; only Cancel is enabled. It does seem that I am forced to provide a web address. It would not accept a name only nor a disk-based location. The Continue button is only enabled after I put in web address. This occurs in the first window, Ontology ID. It says:
 
Please specify the ontology IRI.
 
The ontology IRI is used to identify the ontology in the context of the world wide web. It is recommended that you  set the ontology IRI to be the URL where the latest version of the ontology will be published.  If you use a version IRI, then it is recommended that you set the version IRI to be the URL where this version of the ontology will be published.

An ontology does not  have to be published and the URI you choose doesn't  have to be web based.  The URI you choose can simply  be a name for the ontology.  There are some words in the OWL 2 specification that an ontology  "should" be  accessible through its IRI but in other places it is implicitly understood that this is not a reliable mechanism.

I am new to Protege and have a question regarding Frames and OWL versions. I downloaded what I believed to be Protege-Frames 4.1 Beta. When I run the program, it insists that I create a new OWL or select an existing OWL ontology. The part that bothers me is that when I select "create new", I am forced to provide a web-based uri. What if I don't want to publish anything to the internet. Is there some way around this requirement? If I am working on proprietary information, I won't want to risk putting it on any website. I am going thru the documentation but so far I've seen nothing that addresses this issue.
