Protégé runs on pretty much any platform that supports JDK version 1.4. This includes all modern versions of MS Windows (NT/2000/XP), the common versions of Unix including Linux, Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX, and on the Mac OS X.

Yes, Protégé can be run as an applet. We provide examples of this in the overview section of our Web site. Go to the Project | Configure... menu. On the "Tab Widgets" panel, check the box next to the name of the tab widget plug-in you'd like to see in your project.

Be teachable, take initiative, and honor your commitment. Be willing to learn new things, obtain another perspective, and be responsive to suggestions and constructive criticism. Take the initiative to ask your mentor a question, to let him or her know what you are working on, and to ask about his or her academic and professional experiences. In addition, sustain the mentoring relationship by engaging in small talk until a relevant topic for discussion emerges.

What the mentoring would involve would be to take you through this whole process step-by-step. A business development manager would give you instructions/assignments/worksheets. For instance the third module is about developing a solution that solves your niche market's compelling problems. From the online research you will have done into your market you will already know the compelling problems faced in that industry ..

If you launch Protégé from somewhere other than the installation directory, you must specify the Java property "protege.dir". For example, if you installed Protégé in "C:\Program Files\Protege_3.1", you would type the following on the command line: java -Dprotege.dir="C:\Program Files\Protege_3.1" -jar "C:\Program Files\Protege_3.1\protege.jar"

Yes, the Mayo Clinic has done this. They have instructions on their Web site about how to embed Protégé within Eclipse.

Protégé does not have built in support for synonyms. One way to represent synonyms is through the use of metaclasses. Create a metaclass with a slot called "synonym" and then create instances of this metaclass. You can find more information about using metaclasses in our User's Guide. There are also two pages on the Protégé Wiki that may be of interest to those researching support for synonyms:

A team at SRI International released an alpha version of a DAML+OIL back-end for Protégé-Frames.

Protégé supports any database that has a JDBC 1.0 driver. In practice, this means most relational databases. We have direct experience working with Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft Access. We provide information in our User's Guide about saving projects to a database. There's also an explanation of our database structure in the documentation section of our Web site.

The primary reason for a mentoring relationship is to help the protégé with his or her personal and/or professional development. The Protégé Development Plan is the main document to formalize the specific objectives of the relationship. (Source: The Complete Guide to Mentoring and Coaching) Ingage uses the Protégé Development Plan as a working document between the mentor and protégé.

The matching of the mentor and protégé is initiated by the protégé. The protégé first reviews a selection of mentor profiles on the Ingage web site, and then chooses the mentor they believe will best help them to reach their personal and professional development goals.

HHS is currently evaluating the feasibility of implementing a Mentor/Protégé Program. We do not currently have a program in place. Should the framework of the program be established, a notice would be issued in the Federal Register and FedBizOpps to inform the public and obtain comments

Pellet comes with a DIG server that you can use with Protégé. You can start the DIG server by running pellet-dig.bat on Windows systems and by running pellet-dig.sh on Unix-like systems. You need to make sure that the port number used by Pellet and Protégé is the same. When Pellet DIG server start you will see a message like the following: In Protégé, go to "OWL" menu and select "Preferences".

We provide binary packages for Linux, Windows 2000/2003/XP (fully self-contained installer), and OSX (dmg package). We know that Inkscape is successfully used on FreeBSD and other Unix-like operating systems. Note that Windows 98/ME is no longer supported.

Yes, we now provide support for editing Semantic Web ontologies in OWL via the Protégé-OWL editor. Please see the Protégé-OWL FAQ for more information.

Standard text files - Text files which are CLIPS. Since CLIPS doesn't support everything offered in Protégé, text files will have additional content (as CLIPS comments) that is not "native CLIPS". The format is fairly readable and you can see what it looks like by opening "newspaper.pont" and "newspaper.pins" in the "examples/newspaper" directory (a subdirectory of the Protégé installation directory).

Globulation's source code is made to be cross-platform and work on Microsoft Windows [95, 98, ME, NT, 2K, XP], GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris and other Unixes. The main system used by most of the developers is GNU/Linux, thus new builds will always be released for this platform first. Then there needs to be contributors that successfully compiled it for the other platforms.

Please see "where to start" on the building ns web page: http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-build.html#start.

If they are at a participating campus, please direct them to our web site. In addition, you could forward to them a 'Call to Students' email message, which we have posted on our web site so you can copy and paste it directly into an email message. Please feel free to forward this message to students or place the message on a distribution list of students who are eligible and might be interested in applying as a protégé.

See the documentation section of the Protégé Web site for available documentation. Among other things, you'll find the Protégé User's Guide, a "getting started" tutorial, and information on ontology development.

Protégé supports knowledge base entry in any language or character set but the tool itself is only offered in English.

Most common problem - The plug-in's JAR file was improperly constructed. JavaSoft's "jar" command can be confusing so it's relatively easy to produce a bad JAR file. Since JAR files are packaged using the ZIP file format, you can examine them with any utility that allows you to view ZIP files. On the Windows platform, for example, you can use the WinZip utiltity. Look at the relative pathname entries for your plug-in's classes. If your class FancyWidget is in a package called "edu.

See the documentation section of our Web site for some (minimal) design documentation. Of interest is the section entitled "Design Rationale" on our user documentation page that describes the design decisions most often asked about. Developers may also be interested in the documentation of the Protégé Programming Development Kit on our developer documentation page.

You don't need to sign anything to download, use, or redistribute Protégé. This includes academic, government, and commercial users.

The Protégé-OWL editor is bundled with the "full" installation of Protégé. If you are only interested in creating OWL ontologies, you may choose the "Basic + OWL" option during the install process. Choosing this option will install the core Protégé system, the Protégé-OWL editor, and only those plug-ins that work with OWL ontologies, e.g. OWLViz, OWLDoc, etc.

Everyone has something to offer as a mentor. Do you have a field that you specialize in or an area that you have excelled in? As long as you have a sincere want and willingness to give back and to foster the personal and professional growth of others, we will provide you the training necessary to become an excellent mentor. We train and certify all of our mentors through our Ingage Mentor Training program.

Many people examine the OWL files produced by Protégé-OWL and remark that they look strange and irregular. In particular, they find the files difficult to parse back with an XML parser. It is important to note that Protégé-OWL uses the Jena parser library to save files, and thus we have little impact on the details of the output.

All new scenery editing tools will run on Macintosh and Windows. Betas may come out first for one platform and then the other. Because the tools will be open source, a port to Linux is possible but not planned at this time.

JMF 2.1.1 will run on Windows 95/98/NT 4.0/2000, Solaris/SPARC, and any Java Compatible platforms. The pure Java version of JMF 2.1.1 will now run on Apple's MRJ 2.1.4; however there are a/v syncronization problems since Apple added a 6 second audio buffer to that MRJ.
