When writing plugins, particularly those that perform refactoring, it is useful to be able to verify the changes that have been applied to the model.
The change view provides a very straightforward list of changesets and the axioms that have been added and removed.
A straightforward view that allows two loaded ontologies to be selected for side-by-side comparison. Each pane displays the axioms that exist in that ontology but not in the other. To use
- make sure the two ontologies you wish to compare are loaded (*)
- add the diff view to a tab
- from the dropdown at the top of each window select the ontologies you are comparing
(*) You can load multiple ontologies into the current workspace by selecting File > Open and then selecting Yes to open the ontology in the same window. Please note that you cannot currently open two ontologies with the same URI into the same workspace.
- Changesets are grouped together as they are applied in Protégé
- History updates on undo/redo
- Axiom-level comparison of ontologies
Find the Changes and Diff Views under the Window > Views > Miscellaneous views menu
