TEX-OWL: a Latex-Style Syntax for authoring OWL 2 ontologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a new syntax that can be used to write OWL 2 ontologies. The syntax, which is known as TEX-OWL, was developed to address the need for an easy-to-read and easy-to-write plain text syntax. TEX-OWL is inspired by LTEX syntax, and covers all construct of OWL 2. We designed TEXOWL to be less verbose than the other OWL syntaxes, and easy-to-use especially for quickly developing small-size ontologies with just a text editor. The important features of the syntax are discussed in this paper, and a reference implementation of a Java-based parser and writer is described.

متن کاملAdvanced UML Style Visualization of OWL Ontologies
The OWLGrEd ontology editor allows graphical visualization and authoring of OWL 2.0 ontologies using a compact yet intuitive presentation that combines UML class diagram notation with textual OWL Manchester syntax for expressions. We describe here the approaches available for ontology presentation fine tuning within the OWLGrEd editor, namely the ontology visualization option framework and the ...
متن کاملSPARQLAS - Implementing SPARQL Queries with OWL Syntax
Using SPARQL for writing queries on OWL-DL ontologies can be complicated due to its RDF triple semantics. Translating OWL expressions to this semantics is a non-trivial problem. We present SPARQLDL Abstract Syntax (SPARQLAS), a proper subset of SPARQL, to solve this issue by employing the OWL Functional-Style Syntax to compose queries. We illustrate how the translation is made possible by a mod...
متن کاملA Syntax for Rules in OWL 2
Being able to extend an OWL ontology with some form of rules is a feature that many ontology developers consider as very important. Nevertheless, working with rules in practice can be difficult since the tool support is not as good as for handling ontologies without rules. Furthermore, the existing rule syntaxes are not very well aligned with the new OWL 2 standard. We propose, therefore, an ex...
متن کاملThe OWL API: A Java API for OWL ontologies
We present the OWL API, a high level Application Programming Interface (API) for working with OWL ontologies. The OWL API is closely aligned with the OWL 2 structural specification. It supports parsing and rendering in the syntaxes defined in the W3C specification (Functional Syntax, RDF/XML, OWL/XML and the Manchester OWL Syntax); manipulation of ontological structures; and the use of reasonin...
