Feature: End-user access to ontology parsing logs

[alexskr]

Summary

When an ontology submission fails to parse or load, end users have no direct way to see what went wrong. Parsing logs are accessible only to site admins, and OWLAPI wrapper output is noisy. This feature would expose parsing logs to ontology administrators, enabling them to obtain useful feedback and address issues independently, without involving BioPortal site admins.

Goals

• Allow ontology admins to view ontology parsing logs without requiring site admin intervention.
• Improve log readability and reduce noise where possible, without lowering the level of detail needed by site admins for debugging.
• Integrate into a dedicated “Ontology Admin” UI area if appropriate. This area could also include other functions that are functionally distinct from editing metadata of the ontology:
  • deleting/archiving an ontology, deleting unnecessary submissions,
  • triggering remote ontology pull process,
  • display attributes that might be useful mostly to the ontology owners, like Masterfilename,Missingimports,
  • future functionality where various features could be enabled/disabled like KGCL, notes, ROBOT reports, generate w3id.org sample config, etc.

We have a similar work in progress in the AgroPortal team with @muhammedBkf
We shall link to our related issues later.
