Conventions

Class, property, rule, and individual names are written in Fira Mono font like this. The term used for any such construct in Protégé and in this document is an Entity. Individuals and classes also can be referred to as objects.

Names for user interface tabs, views, menu selections, buttons, and text entry are highlighted like this.

Any time you see highlighted text such as File>Save or OliveTopping or PizzaToppings, it refers to something that you should or optionally could view or enter into the user interface.

If you are not sure what to do to accomplish some task, look for the highlighted text.

Often, as with PizzaTopping, the text you enter into a field in the Protégé UI will be the name of a class, property, et cetera.

In those cases, where the name is meant to be entered into a field, it will only be highlighted rather than highlighted and printed in Fira Mono font.

Menu options are shown with the name of the top-level menu, followed by a >, followed by the next level down to the desired selection.

For example, to indicate how to open the Individuals by class tab under the Tabs section in the Window menu, the following text would be used: Window>Tabs> Individuals by class.

When a word or phrase is emphasized, it is shown in italics like this.
