dct:creator` is an annotation property. Its subproperty must be an annotation property too. It cannot be a data property.


Best regards,

Hello,

I'm a new Protege user. I'm attempting to design a custom ontology for a linked data application.

My current goal is to create a property `creator` that I wish to be a sub-property of `dct:creator`, the term from the Dublin Core Terms ontology. I have added `dct` as prefix under "Ontology Prefixes" with a mapping to http://purl.org/dc/terms/. I created my `creator` property as a Data Property and I attempted to make it a sub-property of `dct:creator` but when I attempt to do this, there is no `dct:creator` option in the dialog box. My expectation is that properties from the ontologies for which I've created prefix mappings would show up there.

My research suggests that I must import the ontologies that I'd like to use this way. Is this correct? I found this SO answer describing the process: https://stackoverflow.com/a/44266590. Is this still the method I should use?

Tim
