PROTEGE INSTALLATION
Part I: Installing Protege
1. 1. Download Protege software in this link.
You will be directed to a page as shown in
figure 1 below.

4. Now, you can start using protege to make and edit an ontology.
Part II: Using Protege
Open the protege software to start using it. Figure 1 shows the interface of protege.

Part III: Protege Tutorial
This protege tutorial are based on a series of video by Dr. Noureddin Sadawi.
A. Introduction to Ontology
This protege tutorial are based on a series of video by Dr. Noureddin Sadawi.
A. Introduction to Ontology
1.
Figure 2 shows an ontology of Person where its
subclasses are Student and Lecturer.
Student

Lecturer

Figure 2:
Person Subclasses
Figure
3: Module Subclasses
2.
Figure 3 shows other example of ontology where
both CSModule and MathModule are subclasses of Module.
B.
Creating Ontology Class
1.
Click on classes tab to create class.
Figure
4: Classes Tab Selected
2.
Add a new class. We add a new class named
Person.
Figure
5: Person Class Added
3. Next, add another two classes named Student and
Lecturer under Person class.
Figure
6: Student Class Added
Figure
7: Lecturer Class Added
4. Repeat the process of adding class with a new Module class. Then, add two new class under Module named CSModule and MathModule.

8: Created Person and Module Class With
Their Subclasses
5. Click on any of the module and click Disjoint
with at the
description
Figure
9: Disjoint With Option
6. Click
ctrl and click on MathModule, Lecturer, and Student to be Disjoint with.
Figure
10:Disjoint of MathModule, Lecturer and Student
Reason
for the Disjoint:
- To avoid overlapping between classes, ie subclass, or an instances or an individual can only be an instances of one class so we can avoid multiple inheritances.
C.
Adding Object Properties.
1.
Save the previous file. We named our file as
Ontology IRI.
Figure
1: Saving File
2.
Open the object properties.
Figure
2: Object Properties Pop Up
3.
Create a sub-properties, named as teaches and
studies as in Figure 3.
Figure
3: Teaches and Studies Sub-Properties Created
4.
Then, set the domain for the studies is the
student
and the range is the module.
5. Meanwhile,
the domain teaches is teacher and the
range is module.
D.
Adding Data Properties
1.
Data properties is used to add details to the
classes. Add
data properties such as first name or anything.
data properties such as first name or anything.
Figure
4: Add Data Properties
2. Add data properties student_id, domain set is
lecturer and
the range is an integer.
3.
Next, data properties staff_id, domain set is
student and the
range is an integer
4.
After that, last_name and first_name domain is a
person
class and the range is string.
Figure
5: Completed Setting
5.
Then, test it by starting the reasoner to see
whether there
is any error.
Figure
6: Reasoner Started

If the reasoner did not show any error, yo can
stop the
reasoner.

E.
Adding Individuals.
1.
Create new individual for the classes.
Figure
1: Add New Individual
2.
Key in as many individual that fit your ontology
then key in the possible description for each

Publish and SPARQL.
As we do not have the specified host for our
Ontology so, we decided just to watch the video for the publishing and run a
simple SPARQL. So here are the following videos from Dr. Noureddin Sadawi

G. What we learn from Protege.
We learn ways to add the classes, subclasses,
properties, individual and many more and create the connection between the
classes, subclasses, properties, individual and so on. Then using the hosted
site you can see the XML viewed after publishing the Ontology in the web. Also
how to download the Jena Fuseki Server and run a simple SPARQL
