Re: Interacting with Protege project through RMI from external programs
Hi Prem, Thanks for your question. Although Protege performs well once you’ve got the project loaded, the load-time in server mode - using RMI - can often be long. Network performance is also a key factor in this and it would be worth checking to see whether your Import Utility is running on the sam...
