چکیده

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—called the SWRLAPI—that provides a rich development environment for working with SWRL rules. The SWRLAPI is built on the widely-used Protégé-OWL ontology toolkit. It provides both a set of highly interactive user interfaces for working with rules and a set of lowlevel APIs for embedding rules in knowledge-driven applications. This SWRLAPI has been used to develop a number of technologies to support data integration on the Semantic Web, including a SWRL-based query language called SQWRL and a set of tools that support interoperation between OWL and a variety of information formats.

Querying the Semantic Web with SWRL

The SWRLTab is a development environment for working with SWRL rules in Protégé-OWL. It supports the editing and execution of SWRL rules. It also provides mechanisms to allow interoperation with a variety of rule engines and the incorporation of user-defined libraries of methods that can be used in rules. Several built-in libraries are provided, include collections of mathematical, string, and ...

An Executive Approach Based On the Production of Fuzzy Ontology Using the Semantic Web Rule Language Method (SWRL)

Today, the need to deal with ambiguous information in semantic web languages is increasing. Ontology is an important part of the W3C standards for the semantic web, used to define a conceptual standard vocabulary for the exchange of data between systems, the provision of reusable databases, and the facilitation of collaboration across multiple systems. However, classical ontology is not enough ...

Supporting Rule System Interoperability on the Semantic Web with SWRL

Rule languages and rule systems are widely used in business applications including computer-aided training, diagnostic fact finding, compliance monitoring, and process control. However, there is little interoperability between current rule-based systems. Interoperation is one of the main goals of the Semantic Web, and developing a language for sharing rules is often seen as a key step in reachi...

A Modeling Environment for Visual SWRL Rules Based on the SeMFIS Platform

The representation and processing of semantic information can today be accomplished using a wide range of formalisms. Rule-based approaches are not only a well-known but also easy to use technique. Most approaches rely on a textual specification of rules that can be processed by an according rule engine. For simplifying the specification and understanding of rules by domain experts, we present ...

Development of a Combined System Based on Data Mining and Semantic Web for the Diagnosis of Autism

Introduction: Autism is a nervous system disorder, and since there is no direct diagnosis for it, data mining can help diagnose the disease. Ontology as a backbone of the semantic web, a knowledge database with shareability and reusability, can be a confirmation of the correctness of disease diagnosis systems. This study aimed to provide a system for diagnosing autistic children with a combinat...
