OWLSharp is built atop RDFSharp with the goal of providing ontology expressivity for:
- Creating OWL2 ontologies (classes, restrictions, properties, individuals, assertions, annotations, ...)
- Exporting them using standard OWL2 formats (OWL2/Xml)
- Validating and Reasoning through extensible sets of intelligent RDFS/OWL-DL/OWL2 semantic rules
In addition to the core ontology features, it integrates a set of extensions providing expressivity for:
- Creating reasoners building business-logic inference rules in a fluent and natural way (SWRL)
- Creating schemes describing, documenting and organizing vocabularies of concepts (SKOS)
- Modeling and relating features having a spatiotemporal representation (GeoSPARQL, OWL-TIME)
Development of OWLSharp v4 has started! Track the progress here to stay tuned!
