Abstract: (by TimRedmond)
Protégé is a very popular ontology editor. In addition to its capabilities as a simple application for viewing and editing ontologies, it also boasts a highly flexible plugin architecture and a rich knowledge base application interface. In this talk we will describe approaches for developing graphical plugins embedded in the Protégé graphical interface and to develop standalone applications based on the Protégé knowledge base application interface.
