If the auto update mechanism [1] can't write to Protege's plugin subdirectory, it falls back to writing to a user directory. This mainly effects Windows users who install to the Program Files directory, but it's also important for Linux administrators who create a shared Protege installation for multiple users. - Modified the annotation editor so that it remembers which tab was last selected. - Deprecated entities now get rendered with strikethroughs: Screen shot of deprecated entities with strikethroughs - The button for editing annotations on axioms now gets highlighted in orange when an axiom has annotations, thus making it easier to notice: edit axiom annotation button in orange - Fixed a bug in the ontology repository mechanism that caused some valid XML catalog files to be rejected. - Fixed a bug that caused the save operation to add extra axioms from imported to importing ontologies. - Fixed a bug where automatically generated IDs would get incremented on each keystroke when users created new entities. - Fixed a long-standing bug where Protege would freeze while trying to generate a new ID for an entity. - Fixed a bug in the Bookmarks plug-in [2] that caused it to fail immediately upon being activated in the user interface. The Bookmarks plug-in is available for download via the auto update mechanism (File | Check for plugins... | Downloads | Bookmark View). - Fixed a bug in the OWLDoc plug-in [3] where clicking on the Show Source button caused a NullPointerException. The OWLDoc plug-in is available for download via the auto update mechanism (File | Check for plugins... | Downloads | OWLDoc).

A new tab called the SWRLDroolsTab &lt;http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SWRLDroolsTab&gt; provides a graphical interface for interacting with this implementation. The existing SWRLJessTab &lt;http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SWRLJessTab&gt; is still available. All existing SWRL built-in libraries &lt;http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SWRLTabBuiltInLibraries&gt; are supported in the Drools implementation. Both the Drools and Jess implementations now use a pair of OWL 2 RL-based &lt;http://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-profiles/#OWL_2_RL&gt; reasoners for performing inference (read more &lt;http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SWRLTabOWL2RL&gt;). These reasoners are also used by the SQWRL &lt;http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SQWRL&gt; query language. The Java APIs provided by the SWRLTab have changed slightly so users of these APIs will need to update their code. Information on these changes can be found here &lt;http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SWRLTabAPIUpdating&gt;. The process of building the SWRLTab and its associated rule engines has also changed. The new build process is outlined here &lt;http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SWRLTabBuilding&gt;.

The new explanation plug-in, referred to as "Justification Based Explanation", will generate multiple explanations for a single inference, will sort the explanation to be more readable, and can generate laconic explanations (laconic justifications). The plug-in can also generate explanations for inconsistent ontologies (previous releases only included an ad-hoc tool, which in some cases was unable to find any explanation for a problem). - Fixed a bug that could cause Protege to crash during start-up.

This is part of a broader effort to align Protege's behavior with common document editing tools, e.g., opening Microsoft Word presents users with a blank document. - Added support for Java code generation. Available from Tools | Generate Protege-OWL Java Code. - Protege no longer requires administrative privileges to run on Windows machines. Please note the exception that downloading new plug-ins will still require Protege to be run in administrative mode.

Registration URL: http://protege.stanford.edu/download/register.html Core Protege -------------------- - Fixed a problem that caused a warning dialog to appear each time Protege started. - Fixed a bug that caused newly created and renamed instances in OWL ontologies to be displayed with the original name (only present in client-server mode). - Added the serialVersionUID to all serializable classes in protege-core, owl, and a number of plug-ins (standard-extensions, protege-pellet-reasoner, rdf-backend, change-management, change-analysis, protege-collab, chat, prompt, lucene-query, bioportal-reference-plug). This will improve compatibility between different versions of Protege servers and clients. BioPortal Reference Plug-in --------------------------------------- - Updated the BioPortal Reference Plug-in to work with the latest release of NCBO BioPortal [1], which now requires a mandatory argument be appended to all REST calls (read more [2]). BioPortal Import Plug-in --------------------------------- - The BioPortal Import Plug-in is now bundled with the default Protege installation. It is integrated into the OWL Classes tab as an extra button that allows importation of classes or class sub-tress from ontologies stored in NCBO BioPortal. The plug-in is highly configurable, and supports importation of class properties, e.g., labels, synonyms, definitions, and metadata, e.g., import author, timestamp, source ontology, etc. (read more [3]). New versions will be downloadable from the plug-in's wiki page. BioPortal Java API --------------------------- - The BioPortal Java API used by both the BioPortal Reference and Import plug-ins was modified to be less sensitive to NCBO BioPortal service changes. The API is documented [4] on the Protege wiki. A web-based version of the release notes is available on the Protege wiki [5].

Installation instructions are available &lt;http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/WebProtegeAdminGuide&gt; on the Protege wiki. ----------------------------- Release Notes * Compatible with Protege 3.4.6 &lt;http://protege.stanford.edu/download/protege/3.4/installanywhere/Web_Installers/&gt; (for the external server mode), GWT 2.2.0 &lt;http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/files/gwt-2.2.0.zip&gt;, Java 1.6 New functionality * *Restriction editing* is supported in the Restriction Portlet. The portlet has support for auto-complete for entity names. * *Threaded notes and discussions* are now supported in he Notes Tree Portlet. * The HTML Message Portlet allows the *embedding of arbitrary HTML pages* or snippets as part of a WebProtege tab. This portlet can be used for warnings, alerts, news, embedded documentation, and so on. * The *Properties View Portlet* shows the properties that are in the domain of the selected class, similar to the Properties View in Protege 3.x. * WebProtege now *enforces the read and write access right permissions* as defined in the metaproject &lt;http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/Protege_Client_Server_Tutorial_Configuration&gt;. * Users can now *sign in with their OpenID* &lt;http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/WebProtegeOpenId&gt; account, such as Google, Yahoo, AOL, Flickr, etc. The first time a user signs in with the OpenID, she will be prompted to associate it with a WebProtege account. For subsequent sign ins, the user can simply use the OpenId. The associated OpenId accounts can be edited in the Options menu -&gt; Edit profile. * It is now possible to *watch a class or a branch* &lt;http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/WebProtegeWatches&gt; in the class tree, similar to the Watch functionality available in wikis. The Watched Entities portlet will display the changes that occurred in the watched entities and branches. * The users may opt to be *notified of changes* &lt;http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/WebProtegeNotifications&gt; occurring in their watched entities or branches, as well as in the notes and discussions attached to these entities. The notification is sent by email and can be configured, together with the notification frequency, in the Options menu -&gt; Edit profile. * It is now possible to create *direct links to entities in the ontology* that will open WebProtege with the entity selected. The direct link to a class in the ontology can be retrieved by right clicking on the class in the class tree and selecting /Show direct link/ from the context menu. This link can then be sent by email or instance messaging to other users. * Users may now *change their password* from the Options -&gt; Change password menu in the top right corner of the display. The password can be reset and sent by email if the user clicks on the *Forgot password link* in the Login panel. * Users with adequate access rights can *create new users* from the Options menu -&gt; Add new user. * It is now possible to *restrict the access* to a WebProtege installation by requiring a password to get to the initial page of an ontology. UI Layout Enhancements * WebProtege stores the *user interface configuration in a XML file* &lt;http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/WebProtegeLayoutConfig&gt; that can be manually edited to change the layout of tabs and portlets. The configuration can be generic (applied to all projects), project specific (applied to one project for all users), or project/user specific (is custom for a project and user). * Added support for building domain specific *knowledge acquisition forms* &lt;http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/PropertyFormPortlet&gt;. Forms are similar to the ones in the Protege 3.x series in which a property in the ontology is associated to a widget that can display and edit the values of the property. Available property widgets: text field, text area, combo box, grid, etc. See documentation &lt;http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/PropertyFormPortlet&gt;. * *New property form widgets*: o Instance check box o Instance radio button o Instance combo-box o Class select widget o Property select widget * Several of the property form widgets can be configured to work with single or multiple cardinality properties by setting the flag multiple_values_allowed to true/false in the XML configuration for the portlet. * It is possible to prevent users from changing the layout of their WebProtege by hiding the Ontology toolbar in the XML configuration file by setting the flag showOntologyToolbar to false in the &lt;project&gt; element. It is also possible to prevent users from closing a tab by setting the closable flag to false in the tab XML configuration. * The Properties Form Portlet supports now type-based tab activation. The tabs in the portlet can be configured to show up only if the selected entity has certain types (e.g. rdf:type). * It is now possible to *create your own tabs*, add portlets to them, and set a controlling portlet for the tab. The controlling portlet sets the selection for the rest of the portlets in a tab. For example, in the Classes tab, the class tree portlet is the controlling portlet. * It is possible to *change the controlling portlet* of an existing or new tab dynamically at run time by using the configure icon in the title bar of a portlet. * The *selection* in the different tabs is now *synchronized*. For example, if a user selects a class in the Classes tab, and then switches to the Individuals tab, the same class will be selected. * You may *save the layout* from the Ontology toolbar using the Save icon (right-most icon). This feature is still under development. * It is now possible to set the order of a portlet in a tab in the configuration xml by using the &lt;index&gt; element. Other enhancements and bug fixes * Better support for *linking terms from BioPortal &lt;http://bioportal.bioontology.org/&gt; ontologies* with the BioPortal Reference Portlet: o Added support for composite search: each search term will be expanded o Added support for searching on synonyms and on other property values o The search results presentation has been enhanced. It shows the preferred term, show whether the search term was found in preferred term, synonym or id, and the matched content. o The search can be restricted to a subset of BioPortal ontologies * The *Parents Portlet* displays the direct superclasses of the selected class with clickable links for easy navigation. * Fixed the All Properties Portlet that shows the annotations (or own slots for Frames ontologies) associated to an entity in the ontology. The language of a rdfs:literal is now also editable. * Fixed a resizing issue for the top panel of WebProtege. * The properties stored in the protege.properties are now available to both the client (UI) and the WebProtege server. Properties that are not supposed to be shared with the client can be black-listed in a file blacklist.properties. * Various other bug fixes and enhancements _______________________________________________ protege-releases mailing list protege-releases&lt; at &gt;lists.stanford.edu https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/protege-releases Instructions for unsubscribing: http://protege.stanford.edu/doc/faq.html#01a.03 </pre> Jennifer Vendetti 2011-05-18T01:16:45 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.misc.ontology.protege.beta/139 <pre>There's a new Protege 4.1 build available on our website: http://protege.stanford.edu/download/registered.html#p4.1 ** PLEASE NOTE: This is a candidate build for the Protege 4.1 release. ** Release Notes: ---------------------- - Restored the ability for a user-defined repository location to persist across sessions and installs.
