Instructions for new Protege users

Obtaining your ID range

• Curators and projects are assigned specific Mondo term ID ranges by senior editors.
• These ID ranges are stored in the file: mondo-idranges.owl
• NOTE: You should only use IDs within your range.

Setting ID range

• Once you have your assigned ID range, you need to configure Protege so that your ID range is recorded in the Preferences menu. Protege does not read the mondo-idranges.owl file.
• In the Protege menu, select Preferences. In the resulting pop-up window, click on the New Entities tab and set the values as described below.
• In the Entity IRI section:
• Start with: Specified IRI: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo
• Followed by /
• End with: Select Auto-generated ID
• In the Entity Label section:
• Select Custom label
• IRI http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label
• In the Auto-generated ID section:
• Select Numeric (iterative)
• Prefix: "MONDO_"
• Suffix: leave this blank
• Digit Count: "7"
• Start and End: see mondo-idranges.owl. Only paste the number after the MONDO: prefix. Also, note that when you paste in your MONDO ID range, the number will automatically be converted to a standard number, e.g. pasting 0110001 will be converted to 110,001.)
• Check the Remember last ID between Protege sessions box (Note: You want the ID to be remembered to prevent clashes when working in parallel on branches.)
