Creating the Sample Project

First, you must create a new project in Protégé format. 

To create the sample project when you start Protégé:

  1. Start Protégé. If you have a Protégé project already open, simply exit and restart the program. (For information on creating a project from within Protégé, see Creating a Project.)
    When you start Protégé, a dialog box prompts you to create a new project, open a recent project, or get help.
  2. In the New Project field at the left, make sure Standard Text Files is selected. This will create a project file in Protégé-2000 format.
  3. Click New.
    The Protégé window opens and the standard tabs become visible. A new project always opens at the Classes view. The internal Protégé classes THING and SYSTEM-CLASS are all that is visible. No instances will be created.

You are now ready to save and name your Protégé project.
