Fresnel Forms (FForms) is a plugin for the Protégé ontology editor that helps create Fresnel-defined interfaces, and exports them as semantic wiki's. FForms generates default Fresnel interface code for the ontology currently loaded in Protégé. This plugin then provide a GUI for editing Fresnel-defined interfaces. Finally, Fresnel Forms exports Fresnel-defined interfaces as semantic wikis. These wikis provide both browsing of existing data and form-based annotation interfaces for adding new data.
Fresnel Forms can be downloaded and installed from https://github.com/ABI-Team-30/Fresnel-Forms.
We have applied FForms to the entire DBpedia ontology to generate Fresnel style and a corresponding wiki interface for it. The files involved are:
- http://downloads.dbpedia.org/2014/dbpedia_2014.owl.bz2 : The full DBpedia ontology loaded into Fresnel Forms.
- File:Dbp complete.n3.zip: The default Fresnel code that Fresnel Forms generates from this ontology.
- http://is.cs.ou.nl/OWF/files/FresnelForms/dbp_complete.xml.zip: The wiki interface that Fresnel Forms generates from this default Fresnel code.

Tips & Tricks
- To generate the project documentation locally, you can execute ‘mvn site’. After that, the resulting documentation will be present in the target/site folder of the source folder. The entry point for the documentation is index.html.
- Read the document ‘Userinterface instructie.docx’ before loading really large ontology’s like dbpedia.
- Before loading Fresnel, make sure Protégé has loaded the ontology the Fresnel style sheet was based on.
- Show the superclass in the gui to prevent problems with inheriting attributes.
- Make sure the lens boxes do not visibly overlap each other in the GUI. If they do, you may not be able to get the property menu when right clicking a property.
- If you want to open an ontology a second time, open in a new window (might incur failure otherwise).
- If you open a large ontology expand the lenses one by one. Do not activate the the right menu item ‘Expand all’
- After selecting the ‘Expand all’ menu item select also the ‘rearrange’ menu item to be sure that the lenses do not overlap.
- In a form, for properties (not of type page) with multiple values, separate values by a comma. Separate URL's for an image property by a space, then a comma.
