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

Here are the changes in versions 0.6, 0.7 and 0.8 (the first two have lasted only a few hours):

• Add set_datatype_iri() global function for associating a Python datatype to an IRI

• Add nquads ontology format (useful for debugging)

• Add support for dir() on individuals

• Add support for ontology using https: protocol (thanks Samourkasidis Argyrios)

• Add observe module (for registering callback when the ontology is modified)

• Improve docs

• Bugfixes: - Align Python floats with xsd:decimal rather than xsd:double, finally, because decimal accepts int too - Fix Class.instances() so as it returns instances of subclasses (as indicated in the doc) - Fix direct assignation to Ontology.imported_ontologies - Fix a bug in reasoning, when adding deduced facts between one loaded and one non-loaded entity - Fix search(prop = "value") when value is a string and the ontology uses localized string

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

The main new features of version 2 - 0.4 are:

• the defined relations can be queried for a given individual (using the .get_properties(), .get_inverse_properties() and .get_relations() methods)

• improvement of the .search() method, which now takes into account inheritance and inverse relations

• optimisation of recursive request in SQL

• several bug fixes

Owlready is a Python module for ontology-oriented programming. The version 2 currently under development keep the functionalities of the first version, but now relies on an optimized RDF quadstore in SQL. This version is now able to load big ontologies (several millions of RDF triples) with good performances.
