I downloaded the Toolkit. What do I do next? |
- If the file you download is an archive file please unzip its content in a folder, e.g. c:/NeOnToolkit/. Go to this folder and start the toolkit by double-clicking on NeOn_Tookit.exe.
- If the file you download is an executable file please double click on it and follow the instructions. To start find the NeOn Folder and NeOn_Tookit entry in Window's programs menu.
- After displaying a splash-screen the tool asks for the location of a "Workspace". The workspace is the location where the Toolkit keeps some internal information. Usually you can keep the proposed default location. Please make sure to keep this workspace separate from other Eclipse workspaces that you might use.
- Then the full Toolkit will open and display a welcome screen with some information about the project and the toolkit. This info can be closed (with the X in the top left corner) or minimized with one of the icons in the top right corner.
- The ontology navigator will be the main view for using the Toolkit. Here you can create projects, ontologies and ontology components.
- In order to load an ontology or create one manually we need a new project which hosts ontologies. Create one by right-clicking in the ontology navigator and choose "new project". The select "Ontology Development Project" and provide a name for the project.
- The context menu of the new project now offers to create a new ontology. Provide a URI as the ontology (or module) identifier and a default namespace.
- The context menu of the new project also offers to import ontologies. The appearing dialog offers multiple import filters. For files please choose "file system import wizard".
