titlePath Variables

If the OWL import catalog is set using a path variable (as described in using a path variable to share OWL import catalog files), and this path variable is not defined (as described in setting a path variable to share OWL import catalog files), the Concept Modeler will not be able to locate it. Consequently, the following dialog box will be displayed.

A dialog prompting you to specify a path variable.

Clicking Yes allows you to set the path variable to a root directory containing OWL import catalog files and the import of the OWL ontology to proceed.

When an OWL file has been successfully imported, an Imported Ontologies package will appear in the Containment tree containing the imported OWL data.
