+
+If you want to work with or extend one of the examples, e.g., you can

+
+```console
+isabelle jedit -d . -l Isabelle_DOF examples/scholarly_paper/2018_cicm/IsaDofApplications.thy
+```
+
+This will open an example of a scientific paper using the pre-compiled
+session ``Isabelle_DOF``, i.e., you will not be able to edit the
+ontology definitions. If you want to edit the ontology definition,
+just open the theory file with the default HOL session: 
+
+```console
+isabelle jedit -d . -l Isabelle_DOF examples/scholarly_paper/2018_cicm/IsaDofApplications.thy
+```
+
+While this gives you more flexibility, it might "clutter" your editing
+experience, as a lot of internal theories are loaded into Isabelle's
+editor.

 The DOF-plugin provides an alternative to Isabelle's ``mkroot`` command.
 Isabelle projects that use DOF need to be created using
