If I recall, the ontology_catalog.xml file you edited is copied into place in the ~/.kepler directory if it is not already there. Adding your edit to the copy in .kepler (or just deleting the copy in .kepler, which should re-copy your modified version) should get you up and running.
Also, I would try using absolute paths to your ontologies first and then experimenting to determine with respect to what local pathnames are calculated (probably the main Kepler directory). - Sean On Thu, Apr 26, 2012 at 5:13 AM, <Michael.O'[email protected]> wrote: > I wanted to add my own ontology to Kepler, so that I could semantically > annotate inputs and outputs in my workflows. > > I have found at least one message in the kepler-user lists that discusses > this: > > http://lists.nceas.ucsb.edu/ecoinformatics/pipermail/kepler-users/2006-January/000053.html > > Followed the suggestions by: > — adding my .owl file to > /Applications/Kepler-2.3/Kepler.app/Contents/Resources/Java/common-2.3.0/configs/ptolemy/configs/kepler/ontologies > — in the same folder I added an entry to ontology_catalog.xml i.e. > <ontology filename="myOwl.owl" library="false"/> > > My ontology did not appear in the list of Categories in the Input tab of > the Semantic Type Annotation dialog. > > Next approach — my ontology might not be correctly formed as far as Kepler > is concerned (it does open fine in Protege 4.2)?
