Prompt

The PROMPT plug-in allows you to manage multiple ontologies in Protégé, mainly    (3NO)

• compare versions of the same ontology    (3NP)
• map one ontology to another    (7K9)
• move frames between included and including project    (3NQ)
• merge two ontologies into one    (3NR)
• extract a part of an ontology    (3NS)

Download    (7QT)

Prompt is bundled with the "full" installation of Protege.    (7QU)

New in Prompt 3.0    (7PV)

• Mapping mode: create a mapping between two ontologies, and execute the mapping using a mapping interpreter    (7PW)
  • Make sure to check out the page on ConfiguringPromptProjects    (7PX)

• Plug-in architecture: plug in your own mapping algorithms for initial comparison of ontologies or your own user interface components    (7PY)
  • For developers: developing plugins for Prompt    (7PZ)
  • Available Prompt plug-ins (these plugins are installed when you install Prompt):    (7Q0)
    • CogZ: use Jambalaya-style visualizations for mappings    (7Q1)
    • FOAM in Prompt: use the FOAM algorithm for mapping    (7Q2)
    • Synonyms: if you have synonyms for your terms, have Prompt use synonyms in creating lexical mappings    (7Q3)

Important notice: the Prompt build available with the Protege download (Protege 3.2 beta, build 331) has a bug in the FOAM plug-in to Prompt. Unfortunately, due to some recent hardware difficulties, we are unable to run a new Protege build at this time. Thus, if you would like to try out the FOAM plug-in for Prompt, you will need to do the following:    (7SF)

• Download an updated version of the Prompt FOAM plug-in.    (7SG)

• Navigate to the Prompt plug-ins directory: <protege-install-dir>/plugins/edu.stanford.smi.protegex.prompt/plugins.    (7SM)

• Replace the folder entitled "edu.stanford.smi.protegex.foamplugin" in this directory with the one you just downloaded and unzipped.    (7SI)
