So, how to create ontology in universAAL tool without creator ?

Hi,
Not sure if I understand exactly what you mean with "universAAL tool without creator", but we have some wikis for creating ontology code from the ground up in universAAL:
https://github.com/universAAL/platform/wiki/Ontologies-%28Quick%29 (quick starter version)
https://github.com/universAAL/platform/wiki/Ontologies-%28Details%29 (in depth version)
https://github.com/universAAL/samples/tree/master/ont.tutorial (sample ontology code)

Hi,
thanks for the quick reply.

So, in universAAL, as you know, there is option "create a new ontology project". This is an option for people who want to initiate an ontology project quickly. This wizard creates sample classes, instances, axioms, etc.

This wizard creates many classes and properties that are not necessarily needed in different projects (e.g. my project).

I wonder how to create ontologies without using this option "create a new ontology project" I would like to create an ontology project myself, and decide from the very beginning about what is to be included in this ontology. Is it possible ?

Best Regards,
Artur

If you are referring to the initial classes that are created when cretaing a new ontology project with that plugin, if I recall correctly, those can be removed and you can create your own (I can't look at it right now). If however you refer to things like the Activator or the Factory, which are not "ontology" things per se, those are accessory objects needed to run the ontologies in universAAL and cannot be removed - the tool is intended after all for using the ontologies in universAAL.
