Quick summary: Simplify 'save implied links' interface so that it doesn't have different options and behaves as 'save for presentation' currently does.
BKGD:
It seems likely, to me at least, that the main use of 'save implied links' will be to instantiate a non-redundant set of inferred is_a relationship. This is basically what the very confusingly titled 'save for presentation' does. The other option, "save all links" does a transitive closure over is_a (i.e.- it instantiates all possible is_a relationships, irrespective of redundancy due to transitivity) which can generate a huge file. This options might be useful to some people populating databases designed for reasoning using SQL, but such specialized users are probably better off using available (?) scripty alternatives.
[Note - I've made this a high priority because I'd really like it fixed before the OE2 tutorial in Buffalo on July 23rd]
Hi David,
Heres what I propose:
Lets leave the "Save all links" option in there for now. I understand these data are not going to be useful for all - we can consult the working group on this topic - I think having a warning or tooltip showup and explain the option could be a potential solution too. I've renamed "Save for presentation" to "Save trimmed links" as it trims the inferred links so as to have a set of non-redundant is_a links as you mentioned.
"Realize implied links" has been renamed to "Assert implied links" to reflect its functionality clearly.

I have investigated the behavior and then renamed the options to describe their functionality clearly
