Namespace Color Assignments


Resources from different ontologies can be assigned different colors. These color assignments will be active in both the Overview and Detail View of RDF/OWL View. The assignments are done on the basis of namespaces. So each namespace can be assigned a different color, and the RDF/OWL View will display resources from these namespaces in their respective colors. When a box in the diagram is selected, it becomes a darker shade of the assigned color.

 

To assign colors to namespaces, do the following:

 

1.Click Tools | Namespace Color Assignments. This pops up the Namespaces Color Assignments dialog (screenshot below).

2.Click the Add button to add a color assignment line.
3.In the new color assignment line, enter the required namespace in the URI column.
4.In the Color column, click the color picker to select the color for that namespace.
5.Add more color assignment lines or delete lines as required by using the Add and Delete buttons, respectively.
6.When you are done, click OK.

 

The colors are assigned to the various resources as background colors, each resource according to the namespace in which it is. The screenshot below shows the Detail View of resources with color assignments.

Note:The RDF, RDFS, OWL, and XML Schema namespaces can also be assigned colors.
