ODM #1: Export to OWL

[Michael Hafner]

Dear all,

trying out EA's OWL functionality, I can't find the import/export menu.

Documentation:

"The MDG Technology for ODM provides four management commands to help you maintain your ODM models:

· Export OWL/RDF models as an .rdf or .xml file

· Import OWL or RDF content (in .owl or .rdf xml file format) as an ODM model package

[...]

Extensions | ODM | <command>
Extensions | Import | OWL/RDF, or
Extensions | Publish | OWL/RDF"



MDG Technology is available; OWL toolbox and scripts are working properly, but the Extensions menu is empty, and there doesn't seem to be any other way to access these functions.

Best,
Michael

Dear Michael,

The import / export function is in the menu under:
Extensions \ ODM

I am also thinking about using EA als OWL modeling tool. But i miss the possibility to use sparql to query the model. I tried to export the example model to OWL and import it in Protoge but this doesn't work. Protege doesn't recognized the format.

Do you have any sugestions?

Greetings,
Alex

Dear Alex,

that's what I thought; however, the "ODM" Option in "Extensions" menu (or, as I happen to work with the german interface, "Erweiterungen") is mssing. (The technology is installed, though, and some JScripts are available.)

The missing sparql functionality is a good point, I didn't consider this.
As for the export, lacking the script, I can't say anything about the format at present.  

Best,
Michael
