Hi,

I would use the queries tab for this kind of exports.


See http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/Qu ... Export_Tab

When I attempt to check and uncheck the Plan check box, the following error appears "Out of memory at line: 2674" Any help on this is appreciated. That's undoubtedly a memory error with tomcat. You should increase its dedicated memory. Locating the tomcat log (catalina.out) may help in id...

Let me answer your second post first. What you are doing makes perfect sense and will work just fine with the current implementation of the XML - without the inheritance unfolding. However, this approach would stop working and I think this is what you are saying. Right. And I also think you are on ...

Jonathan, A quick follow up on this. We have completed the experiments that we discussed and the addition of the class inheritance .... I have added to the XMLRenderer that is used by a couple of plugins. There's actually no impact on the Essential Viewer platform but does require an update to the R...

Jonathan, Hi Jean-Marie, I like the term "inheritance unfolding"! :) Please set me straight if I've misinterpreted what you are describing! That's OK. I'm basing this on this Protege FAQ - I have to say that I have not experimented with how it's implemented in Protege. Mmm, the FAQ says th...

A quick follow up on this. We have completed the experiments that we discussed and the addition of the class inheritance tree to the XML snapshot was simple to code and although it does increase the amount of XML being generated, we felt that this was acceptable - especially in terms of the payback...

It depends :) I) Did you 1) create some principle in the modeler (Protégé) ? 2) configure the "Essential Architecture Reporting" tab with the url of your Essential viewer ? 3) activate the "Publish Repository button" in this tab ? II) If you did the three steps above then you hav...

In Essential, we may define target metrics for business objectives and then display them in the viewer through the "business performance model". However, It seems that there is no way to relate these performance metrics to the information/Application/Technology layers. My objective here wo...

Hi Paul,

Following http://www.enterprise-architecture.org/ ... ymodelling, I would try to use capabilities as a mean to abstract differences between processes.

J.-M.

Hunter I think you are right with your use of subclassing. FYI : some days ago, I asked for a new feature that would allow to use subclasses in reports. Jonathan answered it will do some experiments. See the following thread : http://www.enterprise-architecture.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=65...

I wanted to make sure that we were not building capability that was already there that you may not have been aware of! Your answers are welcome. Before using Essential I had some experiments with Protégé in order to describe our business/applications/infrastructure dependencies... Tnus I have to ad...

Just to make sure. Are you getting an error - the "bad index" error with the current approach? I have no error. Sorry for the wording, what I meant was that capabilities are lexicography ordered instead of numerically. This is a problem when you have more than 9 caps. Moreover, as the &qu...

String value of business_capability_index are used when sorting capabilities in the following files: business/core_bl_bus_cap_model.xsl enterprise/core_el_programme_summary.xsl enterprise/core_el_project_summary.xsl It would be better to coerce this value to number. For example replace <xsl:sort sel...

Jonathan, I understand your point of view as you do not want over-complicate the core model, hence the use of taxonomies and classification which helps to organize the views. As you said I was asking for a capability to classify things at the protégé interface and not in the viewer (easier data inpu...

As I understand it the reportXML.xml is produced through the "Essential XML Renderer"... Actually the code seems to only use the direct types of an instance ... Would it be possible to add all the supertypes (superclasses hierarchy) of the instance in the reportXML.xml file ? ========= Use...

Is it for essential viewer v3 ?

J.-M.
IMHO your post should be located in the "essential viewer" forum an not here .

I'm not sure protégé can enforces its constraints without programming ....

Yau may check the violating instances with the "facet constraint tab" though.

See : http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl ... traintsTab

Jonathan, thanks for your last fix. It works now ... Have you tried the Data Object Provider Model View? I'm still struggling with the information/data paradigms so I am able to see only a few of them :) These view are great (as the whole essential project :) but a radialgraph would give us a more g...

Jonathan, thanks for the fix I'll try it ASAP. Meantime .. I wonder why the same problem does not occur in "the project network view". If you try this view with my use case you'll there is no problem with the "'". This behavior divergence beween the two views is rather strange as...

Jonathan, thanks for your answer but the fix you gave has no effect... Test case: Good: 1) create a plan named "My plan" 2) create a project named "Amélioration expérience utilisateur" and fill in some dates 3) publish 4) in ev3 : goto programme plan and click on "My plan&qu...

the character "'" appearing in (project) titles should be protected when used in timelines.

This should be the case in, for example, in enterprise/core_el_programme_plan.xsl.

J.-M.

I would like to get an advice about the following situation: Say I have a three tier application (TheApplication) with two deployments in production. One of the deployment uses a "canonical three tier architecture" where the three elements are deployed on differents nodes (one node is the ...

Jonathan,
my inital post was mainly about the static translation of the stylesheet but I do appreciate your informations about the synonym slot.

I did not try to use saxon-gettext yet and I'll have a look on the contribute page next ...

J.-M.

Whatever solution we choose, we will have first to extract the literal strings embedded in the stylesheets.

How may I submit these extractions to the project ?

Jonathan,
thanks for your detailed answers.

We plan to do i18n/l10n work on the stylesheets. Do you think saxon-gettext (http://xmlguru.cz/2006/10/saxon-gettext) would be a sensible way ? An alternative would be to use some purely xml-ish way but we think that the first solution should perform more efficiently. The main impact of the choice w...

So you have a bug tracker

I did not find any reference to it on the web site.

Any chance to get it public as it would be more convenient to use instead of the forums for bug tracking ?

Cheers,

J.-M.

Jonathan, thanks for your answer, the tutorial is much clearer now ( not because of bad writing but just because I'm not a native english speaker :). Going back to your example (taking product/warehouse/product_location) : I understand that a good use of the data/information hierarchies would be to ...

1) Application catalog
2) Menu entry "Application Provider Summary" on an application
3) goto section "Physical Technology Platforms"

I get an error when i click either on the "instance name" or the "node" data in the table.

I have some difficulties to grasp the differences between data/information concepts and I did not find an example architecture for the information data pack in the download area.

Do you plan to release such an example ?

When navigating to technology instance detail I have an error about a missing xslt stylesheet:

technology/core_tech_instance_def.xsl

Mmm, IMHO, the meta-tag you gave does not imply that the xml output will be in utf-8, It merely declares that the resulting html document should be in utf-8 at the html level. I think also that the xsl output encoding is, by default, implementation defined. I had some encoding problem in my browser ...

Neil, I understatnd that most of the description should be captured in the model but ... sometimes -- mainly for app. provider -- I use existing description to verify that I do forgot some aspect of the provider in my model. In such a situation I find the description more convenient to read when the...

Neil,
thanks for the long answer. However my question was too broad as I was not thinking about character formatting.

My only concern was to keep the visual separation between paragraphs in the viewer output for long descriptions

This is not a problem with the encoding of ths xsl files but a problem with the encoding of the html output.

As I understand the xsl standard there is no causal relation for file encoding between xsl files and their output.

J.-M.

In protégé, I changed the default widget for descriptions to editorpanewidget as I want to get some formatting for this field.

However Essential viewer does not keep the formatting .....

I would like to know which stylesheet(s) I would have to modify in order to get back the original format ...

Under linux, the following will add a latin1 encoding to each xsl files when run from the webapp root: J.-M.
