Including a Project

You can include an existing project in your current Protégé-2000 project. This allows you to build a single large project from one or more smaller projects. Included classes, slots, and instances cannot be edited; included forms can be edited, however.

To include a project into an existing Protégé-2000 project:

  1. Select Include... from the Project menu.
  2. In the Project dialog box, browse to the location of the project you want to include.
  3. Select the .pprj file of the desired project.
  4. Click Open.

The project is imported into your current project. To show they cannot be edited, frames in the included project appear with pale icons: for example, , , .

Once a project has been included in another project, there is no way to remove it using the Protégé-2000 interface. It is possible to remove an included project by editing the "Project" instance in the pprj file. 

You can see a list of all imported projects by selecting Show Included Projects... from the Project menu.
