A) Available features and not available features
________________________________________________________________

Publication

Classes and Individuals are displayed and clickable.

Properties are only displayed associated to current Classes or Individuals.

Properties are still not clickable and so cannot be displayed as a current entity.

SuperClasses and SubClasses are displayed around current entity.

EquivalentClasses are still not displayed.

Restrictions are not displayed.

Clicking on the current item display a small menu that allows : .

- Creation of a Class as a SubClass of current Class is available.

- Creation of an Individual as member of current Class is available.

- Deletion of current item is available.

Server side

Existing package : src/edu/stanford/bmir/protege/web/server

New class : GraphServiceImpl

- That class extends the class OntologyServiceImpl and immlements GraphService in order to introduce communications with the new mind mapping graphic features

Client side

Existing package : src/edu/stanford/bmir/protege/web/client/rpc

New class : GraphService

New class : GraphServiceAsync

New class : GraphServiceManager

- These classes implement the interface for the mind mapping graphic features with the server.

Existing package : src/edu/stanford/bmir/protege/web/client/rpc/data

New class : SubGraphData

- That class implements the actual drawing of a mind map

New package : src/edu/stanford/bmir/protege/web/client/ui/ontology/graph

New class : ChangeParentWindow

New class : GraphTab

New class : GraphVisualisationPortlet

- These classes manage the graph visualisation portlet, a tab for it, and manage the controlling portlet.

Existing package : src/edu/stanford/bmir/protege/web/

New XML resource : graph.gwt.xml

C) Modified resources package and classes
________________________________________________________________

Server side

Existing directory : war/projectConfigurations/

xml configuration resources of portlets disposition may introduce the graphVisualisationPortlet.

Client side

Existing package : src/edu/stanford/bmir/protege/web/client/ui

Modified class : WebProtege - introduce get instance of GraphVServiceManager

Existing package : src/edu/stanford/bmir/protege/web/client/ui/generated

Modified class : UIFactory - introduce reference to the GraphVisualisationPortlet

Existing package :
   src/edu/stanford/bmir/protege/web/client/ui/ontology/home

Modified class : OntologiesPortlet

- set ontologiesGrid.setAutoHeight to 'true' required for the GraphVisualisationPortlet

- removing an existing failing feature

For EDF use only :

Existing package : src/edu/stanford/bmir/protege/web/client/ui

Modified class : TopPanel - use of the EDF logo for EDF internal use, removing the feedback

Logo for EDF internal use : edfLogo.png (to be replaced by the stanford one)

D) Added library
________________________________________________________________

The graphics of the mind mapping portlet uses the W3C svg standard that required to add into war/WEB-INF/lib the SVG library for GWT lib-gwt-svg-0.5.4.jar that can be downloaded here.
