Introduction

Basic instructions for creating a project and starting editing it

  1. Project Creation/Deletion
  2. SKOS Concept scheme Management
  3. Ontology Import
  4. Namespace Prefix Mapping Management
  5. Loading pre-existing data
  6. Enabling Indexing

1.   Project creation/deletion

Create new project    

  • Login with the administrator privilege (Only administrator are allowed to delete the project)
  • Once logged in, list of currently available project will be displayed.
  • On the top right corner, click [+] button to add the project.
  • Add window will be prompted to input following parameters:
    • Project name
      • Name of the new project (e.g. {ST.PROJECT.NAME})
    • Project description
      • Description of the project
    • Project type
      • Type of the project (OWL, SKOS, SKOS-XL). Only SKOS-XL is available at the moment.
    • Base URI
    • Semantic Turkey Server URL
  • Click [Connect] button to test the connection to ST Server.
    • If failed, will prompt service failed message. Check if ST Server is running and connection URL is correct.
    • In case of successful connection, it will prompt list of triple Store: OntologyManagerFactorySesame2Impl
  • After triple store selection, it will prompt for available triple storage mode as follows
    • In memory/persistent
    • In memory/no persist
    • Native store/persistent
    • Remote access

  • Creating a plain Sesame2 project (no OWLIM)
    1. select “in memory/persistent”
    2. You can leave the other parameter values (1000, true, true) as they are
    3. Continue with the instructions as in “Running the system”

 

 Delete project

  • Login with the administrator privilege (Only administrator are allowed to delete the project)
  • Once logged in, list of currently available project will be displayed.
  • Select the project to be deleted.
  • On the top right corner, click [-] button to delete the project.
  • Delete window with project name will be prompted.
  • Click [Delete] button to confirm deletion.
  • Delete project will be removed from the list.

2.   SKOS Concept Scheme management

  • After login, you will be directed to concept module.
  • If no concept scheme is selected by default, you will be prompted to go to Scheme module to select concept scheme.
  • Click on the [Schemes] link on the main menu bar, to go to Schemes module.
  • List of available concept schemes will be displayed.
  • If none of them is available, click [+] button on top right corner of list box to add new scheme.
  • Add scheme window will be prompted to add following parameters:
    • Scheme URI
    • Scheme label
    • Scheme language
  • After clicking [Add] button, newly added scheme will be displayed in the list.
  • To select the scheme, click on the check box.
  • To delete the scheme, click [-] button on the right end of each scheme.
  • Delete scheme window with scheme URI will be displayed.
  • Click [Delete] button to remove the concept scheme.
  • NOTE: Add/delete scheme is available only to administrator but selection of concept scheme is available to all users.

3.   Ontology Import

  • To import ontology, follow these link on the top menu bar
    • Administration > Ontology
  • Under Imports box, list of imported ontology will be displayed.
  • To import ontology, click [+] button on the top right corner
  • Four options are available
    • Add import from local file
      • This option will import ontology from the locally by providing following parameter
        • Base URI: base uri of the ontology (e.g. http://www.w3.org/2008/05/skos-xl#)
        • Local file : browse locally available ontology file (e.g. c:\skos-xl.rdf)
        • Mirror file: Name of the ontology file to be stored in server as mirror file (e.g. skos-xl.rdf)
    • Add import from ontology mirror
      • This option will import ontology from the mirror file available in the server by selecting from the list
  • To delete the imported ontology, click [-] button on the right end of each ontology.

    • RDF file: browser data file to be imported. (e.g. agrovoc_wb_20130507_VB.nt)
  • Click [Import button] to import data.
  • This process may take some time depending on the size of the data.

6.   Enabling indexing (only in OWLIM)

  • To enable indexing, click on [Advanced search] link below top menu bar at the top right end.

Creating a new User

We suppose here that you are both the user and administrator of vocbench (see section 4 on VOCBENCH setup).

To add a new user in VocBench follow these steps:

  • Go to http://localhost:8080/vocbench-2.0/index.html and click on "Create an account" under the login form on the right of the page
  • Input all the required information. It is better, even if it is not mandatory, to specify the "Languages you wish to manage" and the "Ontology you wish to manage"
  • At this point the account is not yet allowed to log on.
    • As a user, you can wait for the confirmation email that a request has been sent to the administrator
    • As administrator, you can wait for the email and follow its instructions

If you do not receive any email (maybe a misplaced configuration) you need to manually enable the account by modifying the admin DB (see FAQ 1)
