Product Changes

The objective of this release of Protege 1.4.2 is to provide the remaining feature requests and bugs fixes found in previous Protege releases that have been determined to be a priority for the final release of Protege.  Currently, there is no development planned after the 1.4.2 release.

New Feature Highlights
* 2948:  Object properties available in role construction dialog are restricted according to the domain of the class that the role is being asserted on

* 6082:  Forward and Backward navigation buttons have been enabled in the NCIEditTab.

* 16121:  Buttons to make a class Defined or Primitive have been added to the NCIEditTab.  If the entire list of Necessary conditions is to be made Necessary and Sufficient, the conditions don't need to be made defining one at a time, pressing the appropriate button makes all these conditions N&S.  The same applies to making a class primitive starting from a defined class.  Individual conditions can still be made either defining or non-defining as necessary.

* 21375:  Internal format of complex properties has been modified.  An xml schema is now used to specify the format.  This affects batch editing jobs that include complex properties.  The format to use for DEFINITION and ALT_DEFINITION in a batch edit is:

<ncicp:ComplexDefinition xmlns:ncicp="http://ncicb.nci.nih.gov/xml/owl/EVS/ComplexProperties.xsd#"><ncicp:def-definition>Text of DEFINITION.</ncicp:def-definition><ncicp:def-source>NCI or some other</ncicp:def-source><ncicp:attr>some attribution</ncicp:attr><ncicp:Definition_Reviewer_Name>Someone's name</ncicp:Definition_Reviewer_Name><ncicp:Definition_Review_Date>a date in YYMMDD format</ncicp:Definition_Review_Date></ncicp:ComplexDefinition> 

If no attribution is required the entire set of tags can be eliminated from the above.  And the format for a FULL_SYN is:

 <ncicp:ComplexTerm xmlns:ncicp="http://ncicb.nci.nih.gov/xml/owl/EVS/ComplexProperties.xsd#"><ncicp:term-name>some term</ncicp:term-name><ncicp:term-group>PT or another type</ncicp:term-group><ncicp:term-source>NCI or another source</ncicp:term-source><ncicp:source-code>some code</ncicp:source-code> </ncicp:ComplexTerm>

If no source code is required the entire set of tags can be eliminated from the above.  

Behavior To Be Aware Of

A number of GForge items were created that need additional comment.

• GF#22104 - search string appears empty when invoked from restriction dialog box

• GF#23565 - refactoring namespaces

• GF#24510 - Need a fail-safe for creating codes for properties

• GF#26667 - Robustness/QC
• GF#28509 - Edit tab does not handle & or < properly
• GF#28710 - The rejection of the modification failed in Prompt.
• GF#29143 - role groups not handled when toggling prim/defined
• GF#29347 - Cannot complete SMW roundtrip with Protege / NPO SMW
• GF#29513 - Improved formatting of batch load with error
• GF#29517 - When invalid format is provided on a clone it doesn't retain previously entered Definition
• GF#29665 - "Create Workflow Task" doesn't work" in 1.4.2.223 ByCode.

This is deemed an inconsistency in behavior and is slated for a fix in 1.4.1. For now, editors need to be aware that deleting associations in batch requires that the association's rdf:ID be entered in its entirety.
