The webprotege code base

What it solves

WebProtégé provides a collaborative, web-based environment for developing ontologies, removing the need for users to install local software to create and edit complex knowledge structures.

How it works

It operates as a web application that allows multiple users to edit OWL 2 and OBO ontologies. It features a simplified editing interface for common constructs, tracks all changes and revisions, and includes collaboration tools like threaded discussions, permissions, and email notifications. The system supports various file formats for importing and exporting data, including RDF/XML, Turtle, and OWL/XML.

Who it’s for

It is designed for researchers, data architects, and teams who need to build and maintain shared ontologies collaboratively across different locations.

Highlights

  • Support for OWL 2 and OBO ontology editing
  • Full change tracking and revision history
  • Collaborative tools including threaded notes and sharing permissions
  • Multiple import/export formats (RDF/XML, Turtle, OWL/XML, OBO)
  • Customizable user interface
