Also make sure to define the xmlns y xml:base in your ontology file.

Load image

You can load an image from your computer on a image from the web using the URL of the image.

Then add the region to the list of active regions of that image by clicking the button “Add” in the Image Regions List.

Note that this list has the regions of the active image.

Create instances

1 .- Drag class from ClassTree to Image if Image represents the object in class.

2.- Drag class from ClassTree to name of region in the List of regions if class is represented by a region of the image.
