myCBR 2.6.6 (Final Protégé-Based Release)

HowTo

For information on how to use our new myCBR SDK 3.0.1 BETA version, please take a look at the Java-file MyCBRTest.java which introduces the main methods to access basic functionality. To compile and execute this file download the jar-file and MyCBRTest.java into the same directory. Then execute the following lines in console (after changing to the right directory)
javac -cp .:myCBR3.0.1.jar MyCBRTest.java
java -cp .:myCBR3.0.1.jar MyCBRTest
The current release is a SDK for building CBR applications on top.
Graphical user interface can be found on the preview page.
Moreover, you can take a look at our Java Doc

Installation of myCBR 2.6.x

To run the myCBR plugin for Protégé, you need to:

• first download Protégé version 3.x at http://protege.stanford.edu/ (basic release should suffice) and install it.
• then copy the myCBR plugins folder myCBR-version-bin.zip\protege_plugin\de.dfki.mycbr (and its content of course) into Protégé's plugins directory, for instance: C:\Program Files\Protege_3.3.1\plugins.
• start Protégé and open/create your project.
• enable the myCBR plugin by openening the menu: Project -> Configure. There are now myCBR tabs with the names:
  MyCbr_Similarities_Tab,
  MyCbr_Retrieval_Tab .

Note: If you are developing for the myCBR project, you might be interested to use ANT to copy program files into the plugin directories, start Protégé from eclipse, etc. For this purpose you have to customize the build.xml file by changing some directory properties.
