Instructions
- Download the correct ZIP archive for your platform (Windows, Linux 32 Bit). The ZIP package contains all you need. Unzip the archive. On Linux, use start-dlmaps-demo.sh, and the batch file start-dlmaps-demo.bat on Windows. It takes 5 seconds to start up. You will get two windows, and 2 additional DOS boxes on Windows for RacerPro.
- Using the Map Viewer application / windows, please use "Load..." from the "File..." menu to load the map "oejendorf.map". After a while, the map shows up.
- Then, go to the Query Inspector, and enter queries "Q1" ... "Q20". Those queries are pre-defined in the file "q-queries.lisp" in the dlmaps directory, and is loaded at startup time. You can define your own queries there, or use the "Answer Query" command. Use "CTRL-z" to abort editing, and "CTRL-d" for "Delete". Use "right mouse button" on any pane to get a list of applicable commands.
Note 1: If your query uses "at-least / at-most" (number restriction on roles), make sure that RacerPro uses Unique Name Assumption! E.g., send "(set-unique-name-assumption t)" to RacerPro reasoner using RacerPorter.
Note 2: If your query uses "all" (universal role restriction), make sure that the roles are closed (select menu "Map -> Close Roles" from "Map Viewer").
