Subversion and Eclipse plugins for semantic versioning of OWL-EL ontologies
Create a new project using the "New Project" wizard:
- In any explorer view in Eclipse (e.g. Project Explorer or Java Package Explorer view), right click and select "New -> Project...".
- In the upcoming window, select the wizard suiting the type of project you intend to create.
- Create your ontology (using Eclipse or any external tool), and save it in your Eclipse Workspace.
Important!
- The file must be named
ontology.owl. - The file must reside in a folder named
ontologies. The folder must reside directly under the project root. - The serialization format of the ontology has to be RDF/XML.
This is how things should look after the setup:
- Load the project as an Ontology Project:
- Share the project to SVN:
Please follow the instructions given by the Subclipse sharing wizard in order to select a repository for the new project.
- Before commiting for the first time, load the project as a SVoNt Project:
- In the upcoming dialog window, enter the WebDAV URL for the SVoNt change log repository:
- Perform an initial commit operation using the SVoNt Commit command:
The regular SVN commit dialog will show. Proceed as usual.
- In order to synchronize the newly created remote change log with the local change log, perform a SVoNt Update operation:
Finally, the project structure should look like this (the screenshot shows hidden files which should not be visible in your setup, unless you configured the explorer view to show hidden files):
