Could you kindly provide links/tutorials and appropriate tool for editing/shrinking/expanding the metamodal.

We are evaluating EA tool for our organization and Metamodel customization is one of the criteria

Appreciate your prompt response

Thank You

Hi,

Editing the meta-model is done directly in the Protege tool.

Choose Project > Configure
Enable the Classes Tab (ClsesTab) and the Forms Tab (FormsTab).

Editing the meta-model should be fairly self explanatory from the classes window.

Do proceed with caution. We strongly recommend extending the existing model rather than changing or removing classes and slots. This will help with any future upgrades. If you need to simply hide some form fields, this can be done from the Forms Tab by setting the widget type to none.

Should you need professional help and support then get in touch via the Services option at the top of this page.

Cheers

Neil
