To install the OBDA Plugin do as follows:
- First step is to extract the archive you downloaded in a local folder
To update the plugins simply remove the old jar files and replace them with the new ones.
Before classifying an ontology with the reasoner provided by this plugin it is neccessary to save the currently loaded ontology. Right now, due to some limitations of the plugin, it cannot pass direclty an ontology from Protege to the reasoner, so the reasoner has to reload the ontolgy from its owl file.
