We are pleased to announce the availability of a new version of 
WebProtege at http://webprotege.stanford.edu. This is a major release 
with many new features and improvements.

Please try it out and let us know what you think!


Release Notes
---------------------

*Sharing*
* "Google docs" style mode of operation - upload and share ontologies 
with colleagues and collaborators.
* Access control - ontologies can be public or private with controlled 
lists of users who can read, write, and comment.
* Discussion support - discussion threads for entities make it easy to 
add issues, todo notes, and queries.

*User Interface*
* Simplified user interface for editing lightweight OWL ontologies - our 
default configuration for OWL ontologies makes editing them much easier 
for both non-experts and experts.
* Editing assistance - autocompletion for class, property, and 
individual names.
* Fast editing - on-the-fly creation of properties, classes, and 
individuals (you no longer need to define classes and properties upfront 
before using them).
* Bulk creation - quickly sketch out class and property hierarchies 
using bulk entry for subclasses and subproperties.
* OBO support - import OBO ontologies and use forms designed for editing 
OBO constructs and metadata.

*OWL 2 support*
* This release uses the OWL API and supports editing of lightweight OWL 
2 ontologies natively.

*Change Tracking*
* Full change-history logging - inspect changes by change type, 
timestamp, author etc.
* Revision tracking - download any revision of an ontology at any time.

We strongly encourage you to use the online version of WebProtege at 
http://webprotege.stanford.edu. We provide regular data backup, 
maintenance, and updates for this version. However, this release is also 
available for download and local installation 
<http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/WebProtegeAdminGuide>.

Finally, we recommend that existing users of Webprotege 1.0 (now hosted 
at http://wp-obs.stanford.edu), download and move your ontologies to 
this new version.  While the previous version will continue to be 
hosted, all future development such as new features and bug fixes will 
take place on the new version.

Best Regards,
The Protege Team
