Abstract

OWL 1.1 extends the W3C OWL Web Ontology Language with a small but useful set of features that have been requested by users, for which effective reasoning algorithms are now available, and that OWL tool developers are willing to support. The new features include extra syntactic sugar, additional property and qualified cardinality constructors, extended datatype support, simple metamodelling, and extended annotations. This document provides a mapping from the functional-style syntax of OWL 1.1 to the RDF exchange syntax for OWL 1.1, and vice versa.

1 Introduction

This document provides a mapping from the functional-style syntax of OWL 1.1 as given in [OWL 1.1 Specification] to the RDF exchange syntax for OWL 1.1 and vice versa. Every OWL 1.1 ontology can be serialized in RDF, so every OWL 1.1 ontology in RDF is a valid OWL Full ontology. The RDF syntax of OWL 1.1 is backwards-compatible with OWL DL, this is, every OWL DL ontology in RDF is a valid OWL 1.1 ontology. The semantics OWL 1.1 is defined for ontologies in the functional-style syntax. OWL 1.1 ontologies serialized in RDF/XML are interpreted by translating them into the functional-style syntax and applying the OWL 1.1 semantics [OWL 1.1 Semantics]. The syntax for triples used here is the one used in the RDF Semantics document. Full URIs are abbreviated using namespaces as usual.

The following notation is used throughout this document:

Table 1. Transformation of Sequences to Triples
Sequence S Transformation T(S) Main Node of T(S)
SEQ   rdf:nil
SEQ y1 ... yn _:x rdf:type rdf:List
_:x rdf:first T(y1)
_:x rdf:rest T(SEQ y2 ... yn)
_:x

2 Translation from Functional-Style Syntax to RDF Graphs

As explained in [OWL 1.1 Specification], OWL 1.1 syntax is fully typed -- that is, from the syntax, one can immediately see what is the intendend usage of some symbol. OWL 1.0 syntax is not typed; rather, OWL 1.0 relies on explicit statements that determine the type of each URI. For backwards compatibility, OWL 1.1 uses OWL 1.0 vocabulary whenever there is no ambiguity. This is made precise using the following definition.

The type of a symbol S in an ontology O (in functional-style syntax), written Type(S,O), is defined as the smallest set such that

The above definition refers to a parse tree only for the axioms from O, and not from the axioms from some ontology that O imports. A symbol S in punned in an ontology O if Type(S,O) contains more than one element. Based on that, the following two conditions are defined:

The following shortcuts are used in the translation of OWL 1.1 ontologies into RDF:

Table 2 presents the operator T that translates an OWL 1.1 ontology in functional-style syntax into a set of RDF triples. This table does not consider axioms with annotations.

Axioms with annotations are reified. If s p o is the RDF serialization of the corresponding axiom without annotations given in Table 2 and the axiom contains annotations Annotation(apIDi cti), 1 ≤ i ≤ n, then, instead of being serialized as s p o, the axiom is serialized as follows:

_:x rdf:type owl11:Axiom
_:x T(apIDi) T(cti)   1 ≤ i ≤ n
_:x rdf:subject s
_:x rdf:predicate p
_:x rdf:object o

Negative object and data property assertions are already reified so only the following triples are added if an assertion contains an annotation:

_:x T(apIDi) T(cti)   1 ≤ i ≤ n

3 Translation from RDF Graphs to Functional-Style Syntax

This section specifies how to translate a set of RDF triples G into an OWL 1.1 ontology in functional-style syntax O, if possible. The function Type(x) assigns a set of types to each resource node x in G (in this and all other definitions, the graph G is implicitly understood and is not specified explicitly) and is defined as the smallest set satisfying the conditions from Table 3.

Table 3. Types of Nodes in a Graph
If G contains a triple of this form... ...then Type(x) must contain this URI.

x rdf:type owl:DatatypeProperty owl:DatatypeProperty
x rdf:type owl:FunctionalDataProperty owl:DatatypeProperty
x rdf:type owl:AnnotationProperty owl:AnnotationProperty
x rdf:type owl11:Individual owl11:Individual

For a resource node x, the functions OnlyOP(x) and OnlyDP(x) are defined as follows:

The following partial functions are defined for each resource node x:

These functions are defined inductively by the following conditions. For the induction to correctly defined, it should be possible to order all resource nodes in G such that there are no cyclic dependencies in the second condition; if this is not possible, then G cannot be converted into an OWL 1.1 ontology.

The result is the axiom obtained by matching the triple pattern s p o.
The axiom contains the following annotations:
Annotation( y1 ct1 ) ... Annotation( yn ctn ) )

If G contains some triple that is not matched by any triple pattern (including the patterns used to define Type(x)), then G cannot be translated into an OWL 1.1 ontology.
