Owlready2 0.17 has been released!

Owlready is a Python module for ontology-oriented programming. It can load OWL 2.0 ontologies and manipulate them transparently in Python.

This new version supports SWRL rule editions and fixes problems in PyMedTermino2.

Here are the changes:

  • SWRL rule support

  • Allows importing UMLS suppressed terms

  • Uncache entities when relaoding an ontology

  • Bugfixes: - Fix PyMedTermino2 installation - Fix data property value inferrence with debug = 1 - Fix sort() in LazyList (thanks fiveop!) - Fix World.get() and add World.get_if_loaded() - Add appropriate error message when importing UMLS with Python 3.6 - Fix individuals belonging to multiple, equivalent, classes after reasoning

The new version be downloaded from PyPI (Python Package Index): https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Owlready2

Owlready2 0.16 has been released!

Owlready is a Python module for ontology-oriented programming. It can load OWL 2.0 ontologies and manipulate them transparently in Python.

This new version fix several bugs and supports SPARQL request INSERT and DELETE.

Here are the changes:

  • Optimize nested searches

  • search(sublclass_of = xxx) now returns xxx itself in the results

  • Support "with long_ontology_name as onto" syntax

  • In UMLS import, add optional parameters for preventing extraction of attributes, relations, etc

  • Support SPARQL INSERT queries

  • Optimize Pymedtermino mapping

  • Doc for PyMedTermino2

  • Bugfixes: - Fix 'Cannot release un-acquired lock' error when reasoning on inconsistent ontologies inside a 'with' statement - Fix bug when loading a property that refers to another property from a quadstore stored on disk - Fix RDF triple suppression with RDFlib when object is a datatype

Owlready2 0.15 has been released!

Owlready is a Python module for ontology-oriented programming. It can load OWL 2.0 ontologies and manipulate them transparently in Python.

This is mostly a bugfix release.

Here are the changes:

  • Can infer data property values when reasoning with Pellet

  • Optimize searches with 'type =', 'subclass_of =', or 'is_a =' parameters

  • Add Property.range_iri

  • Add _case_sensitive parameter to search()

  • Add inverse property support in RDFlib support

  • Show Java error message when reasoners crash

  • Bugfixes: - Consider inverse property in get_properties() - Fix parsing bug in reasoning with HermiT and infer_property_values = True - Namespace prefix support in RDFlib binding - Fix dupplicates values when a relation involving a property with inverse is asserted in both directions - Better workaround in case of metaclass conflict - Fix 'sqlite3.OperationalError: too many SQL variables' in searches with 'type =', 'subclass_of =', or 'is_a =' parameters

Presentation at VISAPP 2019!

I presented my works on the use of rainbow boxes for visualizing quantum algorithm at the International Conference on Information Visualization Theory and Applications (IVAPP) 2019.

The paper, entitled "Dynamic software visualization of quantum algorithms with rainbow boxes", is available here and the presentation there.

Owlready2 0.14 has been released!

Owlready is a Python module for ontology-oriented programming. It can load OWL 2.0 ontologies and manipulate them transparently in Python.

This new version adds the ability to infer property values (as in Protégé) and to use SWRL rules. It improves class properties and it can import UMLS (still undocumentated!). It also fixes several bugs.

Here are the changes in version 0.14:

  • UMLS support (owlready2.pymedtermino2 package)

  • Can infer object property values when reasoning (thanks W Zimmer)

  • New implementation of property values; use INDIRECT_prop to get indirect values

  • Support several class property types : some, only, some + only, and direct relation

  • Automatically create defined classes via class properties

  • Support anonymous individuals, e.g. Thing(0)

  • Optimize search() when only the number of returned elements is used

  • Optimize FTS search() when using also non-FTS statements

  • Can restrict reasoning to a list of ontologies

  • Union searches (i.e. default_world.search(...) | default_world.search(...))

  • Bugfixes: - Fix functional class properties with inheritance - Fix dupplicated instance list restrictions when calling close_world(ontology) - Fix use of '*' in search - Fix synchronization, using contextvars for global variables
