Most OWL formatted loads make use of the least complicated procedure to achieve an installation. However, it is a popular format and LexEVS offers some extensive options for customizing a terminology at load time. Therefore step by step instructions are provided for an OWL load.

|| Step || Action ||
| 1 | Obtain an OWL formatted source.
\\
The National Center for Bio Ontology ([NCBO|http://bioportal.bioontology.org/]) hosts OWL formatted and other sources and downloads of some sources are available.

Save the source to a local folder. \\ |
| 2 | Load the source without options.
\\
Load in Linux/Unix environments:
{code}
./LoadOWL.sh -in "file:///home/LargeStorage/ontologies/owl/amino-acid.owl"
{code}

Load in Windows environments:

{code

}
LoadOWL.bat -in "file:///home/LargeStorage/ontologies/owl/amino-acid.owl"

{code}
Sample output on

 success:

| 3 | Load source with options:
\\
Some sources may not offer much in the way of information about the terminology. Since this information is often found in resources outside the terminology itself, LexEVS offers an option to load it in an accompanying manifest file.
\\
This is an example of an OWL file with minimal metadata about the terminology:

and this manifest file allows the user to add appropriate metadata:

Manifest file construction is detailed in the administrative [guide|EVS:4 - Advanced LexEVS 6.0 Vocabulary Administration#Using a Manifest to Change Vocabulary MetaData].

Loading in LInux/Unix

{code}
Loading in Windows

{code

}
LoadOWL.bat -in  "file:///data/phont/LexEVS/test/resources/testData/camera.owl" -mf  "file:///data/phont/LexEVS/test/resources/testData/Camera-manifest.xml"
