Lightweight and friendly .NET library for realizing intelligent Semantic Web applications

OWLSharp

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)
