If you are updating your copy of -ontopPro- simply remove the old version jars and replace them with the new ones.
It is recommended to start protege using the run.sh or run.bat scripts, so that you can see the log messages printed by the plugin. They will help you debug in case of problems.
This is required in order to use Quest, query using SPARQL and other features of -ontop-. Please also read the JDBC information page we have setup to learn about JDBC, download JDBC drivers and find out about JDBC connections.
Adding a new JDBC Driver
- Open Protege's Preference panel (Windows and Linux : Files > Preferences..., MacOS : Protege > Preferences...) and go to the "JDBC Drives" tab.
- Add a new entry.
- Type a description (e.g., 'PostgreSQL JDBC Driver')
- Type the driver's class string (e.g., org.postgresql.Driver)
- Type or select the location of the driver's JAR file in your system (e.g., /mariano/jdbc-drivers/postgresql-8.4-701.jdbc4.jar).
- Click "OK"
Open Protege's Window Menu, and activate the ontop tabs
