rdf_owl

OWL Library layered on top of SWI-Prolog semweb RDF library

Comparison to Thea2

An alternate approach to using OWL from Prolog is Thea2. Broadly speaking, Thea was designed for working with complex TBoxes. rdf_owl is designed for RDF applications that want to add additional convenience for OWL TBox constructs.

• In Thea, OWL axioms are unit clauses. rdf_owl is layered on rdf/3 and rdf/4 triples
• In Thea, URIs are fully expanded. With rdf_owl, rdf_register_prefix/2 can be used to allow shortforms
• Thea has a complete direct representation of OWL2. rdf_owl so far only has a subset

An example:

Querying for X subClassOf part-of some Y in Thea:

? PART_OF='http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/BFO_0000050',
SubClassOf(X,someValuesFrom(PART_OF,Y))

Same thing with rdf_owl

:- rdf_register_prefix(part_of,'http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/BFO_0000050').

? subClassOf(X,Restr),owl_some(Restr,part_of:'',Y)
