What is NCI Protégé?

Protégé is an open-source development environment for ontologies and knowledgebased systems. The OWL plug-in extends the environment to support the Web Ontology Language (OWL).

Developed at Stanford Medical Informatics, Protégé and the OWL plug-in support ontology editing in a multi-user, client-server environment. Using these tools, users at geographically dispersed locations can concurrently edit the same ontology data.

NCI Protégé is a collection of Protégé plug-ins developed for the NCI-specific editing environment. NCI Protégé provides a customized OWL editing environment tailored to the needs of NCI terminologies, including additional editing and querying capabilities that are not available in the Protégé OWL plug-in. The NCI-specific plug-ins have been implemented as a tabbed interface.

The current release of NCI Protégé is version 1.2.3. for Protégé 3. Version 1.3 of NCI Protégé will be available by the end of January 2009.
