Dear webprotege develoment team,

Thank you for your very useful tool that supports us to develop an ontology. I am a newbie in ontology development and would like to develop our ontology. I have read your paper published in 2019 as title: WebProtégé: A Cloud-Based Ontology Editor (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1902.08251.pdf) As your write in the paper, we can easily link to other ontologies such as Schema or DBpedia.

"Users of WebProtégé can easily link to entities in popular knowledge bases such as Schema.org, Wikidata, and DBpedia. For example, to link out to the entity Dataset from Schema.org, a user types in schema:Dataset when creating a new class and WebProtégé renders the entity to its IRI https://schema.org/Dataset, and similarly for Wikidata and DBpedia entities using prefix names wikidata and dbpedia, respectively"

I would like to develop our ontology that will be linked with other databases such as UMLS, ATC. So the concept of linking ontologies is very important for me. However, I could not fully understand these sentences and the concept behind of these sentence. Could you please explain more about this for me. Please give me an example if possible.

Thank you again and I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards.
