Install Protégé 4.0
Protégé is an ontology editor. GLOW runs as a plug-in for Protégé. Only Protégé 4.0.x is supported at this point.
Download a Protégé 4.0.x installer and install it on your system:
Install JOGL 2.0
JOGL is a library that allows Java programs to use advanced OpenGL graphics capabilities. The newest version is currently still in development, but is already very stable for general use.
Since there are no easy installers yet, we provide installers for Windows here:
Note: The architecture (32 bit or 64 bit) should match the Java JVM you are using for Protégé!
After installation of the libraries, reboot your system.
For other platforms, choose one of the JOGL downloads.
Install GLOW
Download and run the GLOW installer:
For other platforms, see the latest snapshot and place the JAR files in Protégé's plugins directory. Protégé will detect them automatically.
Open GLOW in Protégé
You should now be able to run the GLOW plug-in from Protégé.
- Start Protégé.
- Open an ontology of your choice.
- Go to the Classes tab.
- Go to the View | Class Views menu and choose GLOW Visualization.
- Choose a position for the visualization window, for instance on the bottom right.
