通过基于本体工程API的本体查询技术的研究,给出了一种基于Jena的、支持OWL Lite本体查询的原型工具OWL-QS的设计与实现技术.该技术给出了本体解析、本体信息可视化、本体元素(类、属性和个体)查询等功能的处理流程和实现方法.应用研究表明:OWL-QS实现的功能是有效的;基于当前开源本体API(如Jena)实现OWL本体查询是可行的。
The design idea and implementation technique of a Jena-based prototype tool OWL-QS for supporting OWL Lite ontology query were presented based on API of ontology query technique, with focus placed on the process flow and realization method for ontology parsing, ontology information visualization and ontology elements (classes, properties, and individuals) query. Case studies show that the functions of OWL-QS are effective, and technique for OWL ontology query based on current open-source ontology APIs, such as Jena, is feasible.
