About Model Ontology

The PDS4 Model Ontology component encapsulates the Protégé ontology instances for the PDS4 information and data model. This package uses the Maven plugin "model-dmdocument" to generate documentation and other artifcats from the ontology and packages this output (including generated, DM documentation, classes and attribute definitions) into a JAR file.

To generate the output artifacts:

1. Place the Protégé output ontology instances in the src/ontology directory. (The output must go into a Data subdirectory beneath src/ontology due to the way the DM-Document plugin assumes things work).
2. Commit these changes to revision control (with svn commit, for example).
3. Run mvn jar:jar to generate a target/model-ontology-VERSION.jar file that contains all of the generate artifacts.
