GLOO: A Graphical Query Language for OWL Ontologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
The database usability experience has shown that visual query languages tend to be superior to textual languages in many aspects. By applying this principle in the context of ontologies, we present GLOO, a graphical query language for OWL-DL ontologies. GLOO maps diagrammatic queries to DL based query languages such as nRQL, which is offered by the OWL-DL reasoner Racer. GLOO hides the complexity of a DL query language from users and allows them to query OWL ontologies with less difficulty.

متن کاملOntology Enabled Graphical Database Query Tool for End-Users
In this paper we show how semantic web technologies are used in a real application in the domain of national medical databases where an important technological gap between the legacy relation databases and OWL ontologies is bridged by the recently standardized UML profile for OWL. After data has been exported from multiple relational databases into a single shared RDF database structured accord...
متن کاملA Protégé Plugin for Querying and Reasoning on Persistent OWL Ontologies
The OWL language [1] is being widely used to define ontologies in the Web. This language provides three increasingly expressive sublanguages, namely OWL Lite, OWL-DL and OWL Full. The OWL-DL XML based syntax together with its correspondence with Description Logics (DL) [2], make it a good candidate to be the standard language for defining ontologies used by Semantic Web applications. However, t...
متن کاملEddy: A Graphical Editor for OWL 2 Ontologies
We demonstrate Eddy, a new tool for designing ontologies specified in the GRAPHOL language. GRAPHOL is completely visual and fully captures OWL 2. Thus Eddy is the first ontology editor that allows to create OWL 2 ontologies by only using simple graphical editing features.
متن کاملThe SWRLAPI: A Development Environment for Working with SWRL Rules
SWRL is an expressive OWL-based rule language that can be used to increase the amount of knowledge encoded in OWL ontologies. While semantically a SWRL rule can be considered as an additional type of OWL axiom, the authoring and management of SWRL rule bases requires specialized tools that are not typically present in standard OWL development environments. In this paper, we describe such a tool...
