Hi Jack,

I have created an artificial set of 100k classes, all rdfs:subClassOf owl:Thing to confirm some of the slowness that you are seeing. I can confirm that you should switch the class tree to have rdfs:Resource as its root as this will prevent all subclasses of owl:Thing from appearing by default. You can reach this option from the drop down menu of the Classes view - uncheck owl:Thing as root class. That should allow you to open your file with reasonably speed and then close the (useless) class tree before it drags down the system.

With 100k classes, it takes about 1 minute to open owl:Thing and I can see in the Jave profiler that this is a general slowness of the Eclipse platform's tree component as only a fraction of this time is spent in TopBraid-specific code. But my question is why is your specific ontology taking 20 times as long. Did you activate human-readable labels (if yes please try switching that off)? What hardware are you using and do you have enough memory?

Thanks
Holger

Scott,

Thank you for the help!

I did as you suggested (a few times) and then closed and reopened the model. Here is the timeline (just finished):

2:15 pm: Opened the model
2:20 pm: Get the "Applying default superclass inferences to class..." message in the Progress Information dialog (in the end there were just over 90,000 classes) 2:21 pm: Get the "Checking visibility" message in the Progress Information dialog 2:23 pm: Get the "Showing model" message in the Progress Information dialog 2:38 pm: Get the "Opening editor" message in the Progress Information dialog
2:43 pm: Load complete

So there was (a lot of) improvement, but it is till taking almost 30 minutes to load. Is this the best I can expect or are there more tricks I can apply?

Thank you!

Jack

    Jack; There are a number of models that fail to assert "root"
    classes, i.e. all classes that are subclasses of owl:Thing.  While
    technically correct, these are difficult to process, as the system
    has to find all of the class definitions that have no subClassOf
    definitions.  This is the "Applying Superclass Inferences" statement.

    The way to speed this up is to assert these inferences, either in
    the model or another import.

    One way to easily assert the inferences is to choose Model > Open
    with SWA Default Application in Composer.  Again, this will take
    some time, but in the end it will make the assertions and you can
    save them so you do not have to do this in the future.

    I added an import into a model I am constructing. This import is
    the FMA (anatomy ontology) and has tens of thousands of classes.
    It took a couple of minutes to add it. I later had to exit TBC
    and when I reopened the application the Progress Information
    dialog said the app was "Applying Superclass Inferences" for an
    hour (I have since changed the preferences to suppress this
    step). Then the Progress Information dialog told me it was
    "Checking Visibility" which it did for another hour. I could not
    find a preference to suppress this. Considering that it didn't
    take much time to initially import the models, why would it take
    so long to reload everything, and can I configure TBC to load
    faster? Btw, the models just finished loading and its been a
    couple of hours. Thank you anyone!
