More Details
Description
OWLViz is designed to be used with the Protege-OWL editor. It enables class hierarchies in an OWL Ontology to be viewed and incrementally navigated, allowing comparison of the asserted class hierarchy and the inferred class hierarchy. OWLViz integrates with the Protege-OWL editor, using the same color scheme so that primitive and defined classes can be distinguished, computed changes to the class hierarchy may be clearly seen, and inconsistent concepts are highlighted in red. OWLViz has the facility to save both the asserted and inferred views of the class hierarchy to various concrete graphics formats including PNG, JPEG, and SVG.
Installation
OWLViz is bundled with the 'full' installation of Protege. After you have installed Protege, there are two additional steps you need to perform for this plugin to work properly:
- Download and install a recent version of Graphviz, which is a free, open source graph visualization software from AT&T Research.
- Protege will make an educated guess about where to find graphviz depending on your operating system, but if it does not get it right you will need to configure this yourself:
- Protege 5.5.0 (and onwards) these settings are in the Preferences menu -> OWLViz. On MacOSX, install graphviz using Homebrew or Macport as suggested on the GraphViz donwload page. Then, no additional configuration is necessary, as graphviz (i.e., the dot executable) is installed in the default location where OWLViz will be able to find it.
- Protege4.x (build 105 onwards) these settings have moved into the OWLViz preferences panel. Again, specify the path to the dot executable in the appropriate place.
- Protege3.x and Protege4.0 (pre build 105) on the OWLViz tab, click the Options button to bring up the Options dialog. On the Layout Options panel, specify the path to the location of the DOT executable (dot.exe). The Options dialog will look something like the following, after performing this step:
Documentation
All of the OWLViz documentation is located on the CO-ODE Website. The OWLVizGuide is somewhat outdated, but still very helpful. Also, you may refer to the home pages for the OWLViz plugin for additional information:
