Karl,

Try "group by namespace" option to see if it helps. It is accessible from an
icon at the bottom left of the Properties and Classes views.

Regards,

Irene

Subject: [tbc-users] Hiding imported classes/properties

Hello all,

I've got a problem with TopBraid composer becoming extremely cluttered
when I import some large online ontologies, and I'm starting to think
that I must have missed something about how to do such things.

My story: I have an ontology that I want to align with BIBO and FOAF,
for the sake of improving interoperability by utilizing standardized
base classes and properties. Thus, I import BIBO and FOAF into my
ontology using the Imports tab of Composer, and start to connect my
classes as being subclasses of various BIBO and FOAF classes. However,
since these two ontologies are fairly large my lists of properties and
classes now become extremely cluttered and more or less impossible to
navigate efficiently.

Things raises two questions:

1) Am I going about things in the wrong way entirely? Is there another
easier way of saying that my entities are subentities of things in
these standard ontologies, besides importing the whole ontologies?

2) If not, is there any way of filtering what I get to see when using
TopBraid Composer, so that I can filter out all of the properties and
classes from the imported ontologies that are irrelevant to me?

Any feedback is much appreciated!

Best regards,

Karl Hammar
