query_export_tab

The query_export_tab is a plugin for the Protege-2000 knowledgebase-editor that allows you to query knowledge-bases and export the results. It is a slightly modificated QueryTab, where an export button was added to the query-results window to allow for tabular export of selectable slotvalues of all found result-instances:

• 1. Query your knowledgebase as normal
• 2. Click in the results window to activate the frame.
• 3. Click the E-Button in the result window
• 4. Choose the slots for which you would like to export the found slotvalues (for multiple selections hold the Ctrl-Button pressed).
• 5. Click OK

The slotvalues will be exported into a tab delimited text file called ProtegeQueryResults.txt which can be opened with excel or other spreadsheet programs for further analysis.
The ProtegeQueryResults.txt file will be generated in the Protege_2.1 Directory.

Some screenshots can be found here.

The functionality of this plug-in is now part of the standard distribution (Protege 3.0 and later versions) - i.e. only people using versions of Protege 2.1 and earlier need to download the plug-in here. This plugin can be downloaded as zipped binary here. Just unzip it into the Protege plugins directory. The Sources can be downloaded here.

The Plugin is not under active development anymore, but I `ll certainly answer questions about it.

The query_export_tab and its source code are freely available.
