OntoQuery: easy-to-use web-based OWL querying
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMMARY The Web Ontology Language (OWL) provides a sophisticated language for building complex domain ontologies and is widely used in bio-ontologies such as the Gene Ontology. The Protégé-OWL ontology editing tool provides a query facility that allows composition and execution of queries with the human-readable Manchester OWL syntax, with syntax checking and entity label lookup. No equivalent query facility such as the Protégé Description Logics (DL) query yet exists in web form. However, many users interact with bio-ontologies such as chemical entities of biological interest and the Gene Ontology using their online Web sites, within which DL-based querying functionality is not available. To address this gap, we introduce the OntoQuery web-based query utility. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION The source code for this implementation together with instructions for installation is available at http://github.com/IlincaTudose/OntoQuery. OntoQuery software is fully compatible with all OWL-based ontologies and is available for download (CC-0 license). The ChEBI installation, ChEBI OntoQuery, is available at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/tools/ontoquery. CONTACT [email protected].

Applying Language Technology to Ontology-Based Querying: The Ontoquery Project
This paper addresses the issue of how language technology resources and components can be applied in ontology-based querying. In particular, it presents the approach to text and query analysis adopted in the Danish research project OntoQuery, where shallow syntactic analysis and ontology-based parsing are combined in order to identify nominal phrases (NPs) and assign them a semantic description...
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 کاملSemantic Lexical Resources Applied to Content-based Querying - the OntoQuery Project
This paper deals with the exploitation of the lexical and conceptual knowledge coded in the SIMPLE-DK lexicon in the methodology for content-based querying developed by the OntoQuery project. SIMPLE-DK has proven a rich and flexible lexical resource, which the project has taken advantage of in several ways. Firstly, the paper explains how the ontology provided by SIMPLE is used by the current p...
متن کاملQuerying and Reasoning with RDF(S)/OWL in XQuery
In this paper we investigate how to use the XQuery language for querying and reasoning with RDF(S)/OWL-style ontologies. Our proposal allows the handling of RDF(S)/OWL triples by means of a XQuery library for the Semantic Web, and it encodes RDF(S)/OWL reasoning by means of XQuery functions. We have tested and implemented the approach.
متن کاملArguments in OWL: A Progress Report
In previous work, we presented an RDFS ontology, based on the Argument Interchange Format (AIF), for describing arguments and argument schemes. We also implemented a pilot Web-based system, called ArgDF, for authoring and querying argument structures represented in RDF. In this paper, we discuss some of the limitations of our earlier reification of the AIF. We then present a new ontology which ...
