[protege-user] Creating multiple individuals

[Michael DeBellis]

I was just wondering is there anything equivalent to the Tools>Create class
hierarchy or Tools>Create object property hierarchy.

I.e., where I can click on a class get a window and rather than creating
one individual at a time create several separated by a line break? Of
course no concept of a hierarchy here. E.g., click on Person and enter:

Joe
Mary
Steve
Sarah

to create 4 new Individuals who are instances of Person rather than
creating them one at a time using the Add individual icon?

Hi Michael,
I suspect Cellfie can help you achieve your use case.
Basically you add all your instances in an excel file and a basic rule à la Cellfie to do the magic.

Michael,

I am afraid Ghislain is right, and Protege does not offer a direct way
of creating multiple instances of a class in one operation or through a
wizard.

But the Cellfie solution is not bad at all. If you enumerate your
individuals, let's say, in column A of a Excel spreadsheet, you could
import it with Cellfie (Tools -> Create axioms from Excel workbook...)
by running the following simple rule over all rows in column A:

    Individual: @A* Types: Person

You could even encode the name of the class in a different column of the
spreadsheet, and create multiple individuals for a number of classes
with a single import operation.

Thanks Csongor and Ghislain, I hadn't thought of using Cellfie, that's a
great suggestion.
