OWLOOP is an Application Programming Interface (API) for using the Ontology Web Language (OWL) by means of Object-Oriented (OOP). It common to design software architectures OOP paradigm increasing their modularity. If components architecture also exploit OWL ontologies knowledge representation and reasoning, they would require be interfaced with axioms. Since does not adhere paradigm, such inte...

While OWL-S advertisements provide a rich (ontological and behavioural) description of Web services, there are no tools that support formal analyses of OWL-S services. In this paper we present a translator from OWL-S descriptions to Petri nets which makes such analyses possible thanks to the many tools available for Petri nets.

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...
