[protege-discussion] protege-discussion Digest, Vol 21, Issue 3

[Deepak Chandra Misra]

Dear All,

I am a beginner in usage of Protege and would like to know how to create an interface with Oracle RDBMS which I think supports management of Ontological objects and Knowledge base. Is it possible ? Is there any other RDBMS which supports RDF/RDFS/OWL environment ?

We are trying to create a larg ontology for Rural local self governments and would like to keep it in some RDBMS instead of protege supported flat file to get better response time.

This problem is also highlighted by Renata Porto.

Cheers, 

Misra  DC

Thanks, Samson, for your quick reply.  I clearly hadn't gotten to
metaclasses yet, but I'll be using them now!

Best,
Terence

Terence,

You need to create your own metaclasses so that you can attach 
class-specific information and query for them. See [1] and subsequent 
pages on creating metaclasses and instances of metaclasses. The basic 
idea is that a class is an instance of some metaclass, just as normal 
instances are instances of classes. So you can treat classes as 
instances if they are instances of appropriate metaclasses.

Dear All.
I have a set of domain ontologies in RDF/OWL and now I want to create
my instances to be used by domain entities.
My idea is to keep the RDF/OWL ontologies in a text file and the RDF
instances in a Relation Database (MySQL).
How can I use the Protege to create the tables and relationships in
the database to be used by an application?
How is the developers creating the architecture with ontology, its
instances and the consumer applications?
Since the instances in a RDBMS are in RDF how can I associate the
semantic meanings from an OWL ontology.
Cheers,  Renata.

Hi All,

I'd like to announce the shinny new Beta release of
Cypher transcoder, a semantic web and NLP platform for converting natural
language sentences and phrases into RDF triples. This release is based on
Sesame 2.

Cypher is an AI program that generates the .rdf (RDF graph) and .serql
(SeRQL query) representations of plain language input, allowing users to
speak plain language to update and query databases. With robust definition
languages, Cypher's grammar and lexicon can quickly and easily be extended
to process highly complex sentences and phrases of any natural language, and
can cover any vocabulary. Equipped with Cypher, programmers can begin
building next generation semantic Web applications that harness natural
language.

Please try my application, and feel free to submit questions, suggestions,
etc. If you find value in the program, please help spread the word to your
colleagues.

The latest build can be downloaded from:

http://monrai.com/products/cypher/

The official mailing list can be found at:

http://groups.google.com/group/cypher-developer

The documentation can be found at:

http://monrai/products/cypher/documentation

Thanks,
-sherman
