Thank you for expressing interest in our study entitled "Learning about Ontology Navigation Patterns". This study is being done to learn about how existing tools support users' navigation when working with ontologies. The goal is to improve tool support.
How do I participate?
Participation is really easy:
All you need to do is download and install the plug-in which should take about 5 minutes depending on network speed. Then, you restart Protege, read the consent form which should take a minute or two, and go to work as usual. Once a week, you'll be asked to upload the log files to our server which will only take a couple of minutes (again it depends on network speed). The study lasts one month so the total time commitment we estimate will be about 15 minutes.
As a thank you, you'll receive a $20.00 iTunes certificate. Please read our overview page to learn about what is involved in participating in the study.
Where do I get the plug-in?
