Class List Panel

The Class List Panel is available for Ontologies. It displays a simple list of all classes (instances of owl:Class), for example to apply operations from the Batch Actions Menu.

It is also suitable for scenarios where there are many classes in your ontology but you don’t want to find each class in the hierarchy.

Toolbar Features

• New creates a new class, as subclass of the root class of the Class Hierarchy Panel, using the Create Class Dialog.

• Free text searches for classes based on a substring from any of its property values.

• Available batch actions opens the Batch Actions Menu for the selected classes.

Settings

• Return local results only will limit the list to those classes that have been defined in the current asset collection, i.e. are not from included graphs. This depends on rdf:type statements for the classes.

• Also show rdfs:Classes will not only show owl:Classes but also rdfs:Classes, including various system classes.

• Display IDs instead of labels switches between human-friendly labels and machine-friendly qnames.
