Dear Participant in Tutorial T09 - Knowledge Representation in Protege OWL

This is a lecture demonstration and you will gain much more if you have loaded the software and
obtained the examples in advance.

Please bring a laptop if possible with a complete download and installation of Protege 2.1.2.
Experience shows that it works best if you download it with its own Java JVM to avoid
any possible conflicts of Java versions.

Protege is available from  http://protege.stanford.edu/download.html

You may also find it useful to download the ClassDiscriptionDisplay plugin from the CO-ODE site
http://www.co-ode.org and follow the link to downloads. Unzip the plugin into the ...protege/plugins/ folder.

Please also download the example ontologies from http://www.co-ode.org/Medinfo-tutorials  or
alternatively from http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~rector/tutorials/medinfo
There should be two zip files, pizzas-in-owl.zip and pizzas-in-frames.zip which contain the examples.  Unzip
the files into the examples folder under (for Windows users) c:/program files/protege/examples

The handouts should also appear at this site shortly.  Although the handouts are self contained, there is a much more
complete tutorial than time will permit on the day on the CO-ODE page at

http://www.co-ode.org/resources/tutorials/ProtegeOWLTutorial.pdf

(Even if you already have Protege OWL in 2.1.1 or earlier, please uninstall it and reinstall 2.1.2 complete.  Please do not attempt to use
Protege 3beta for the demo)

This information and updates is available at:
http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~rector/tutorials/medinfo/T09-Protege-0WL-tutorial-info.html

Please check for updates prior to the tutorial.

We look forward to seeing you at the tutorial.
