Florina; I take it you are referring to Import Tab-Delimited Spreadsheet file, not Excel. If you take a look at Help > Import and Export > Import external information > Import Spreadsheets, it will show how the wizard works. See part 2 for importing into an existing ontology. In this case, the first row of the first column is the class name (a class in the existing ontology) and the rest of the rows in the first column are interpreted as instance names.
If you are importing a tab-delimited file to create a class (i.e. 'Import to the current ontology' is not checked), then all rows are interpreted as instances of a class that you name in the last window of the wizard. This is part 1 of the aforementioned Help file. In either case the last page in the wizard, Preview Spreadsheet, will allow you to set the property name in the ontology and the data type in the ontology. Click on the cell in the grid and it will become editable. This will allow you to map multiple columns to the same property if you wish. Let us know if that helps you out. -- Scott On Mar 14, 6:26 pm, Florina Halasan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to put together an ontology using TBC Standard Edition.
