Class ProtegeSaver

      edu.stanford.smi.protegex.owl.storage.ProtegeSaver

public class ProtegeSaver

extends KnowledgeBaseCopier

This class can be used to convert a legacy Protege ontology (in e.g. CLIPS format) into an OWLModel that can be saved into a file. The basic idea is to copy the contents of the existing ontology into an OWLModel that is automatically mapped into a set of OWL objects (like done in the JenaOWLModel). Thus, the specific logic that generates the corresponding OWL objects can be reused and no additiona implementation of a Protege-to-OWL mapping is required. During that conversation all normal classes (:STANDARD-CLASS) are made named OWL classes (:OWL-NAMED-CLASS) and thus "shifted up" one level in the metamodel.

This class is supported by the RestrictionUpdater class, which generates Restrictions from facet overrides while the new OWLModel is populated.
