Setting up Protégé for MOLSIM
Opening the Ontology
You can open and explore molsim using Protégé, a free, open-source ontology editor. Protégé is available in both desktop and web versions.
IMPORTANT!
To edit (adding/removing new terms) in MOLSIM, please only do so in the src/ontology/molsim-edit.owl file.
The rest should be taken care of with ODK commands.
For importing new terms or adding components that are not covered by imports, please refer to the custom import or adding components manual, respectively.
