What is in the Snobase Ontology Management System?
Snobase Ontology Management System provides mechanisms for loading ontologies from files and via the Internet, and for locally creating, modifying, and storing ontologies. It also provides a mechanism for querying ontologies, as well as an easy-to-use programming interface so that applications can interact in standard ontology specification languages such as RDF, DAML+OIL, and OWL. Internally, the system uses an inference engine, an ontology persistent store, an ontology directory, and ontology source connectors. Applications can query against the created ontology models and the inference engine deduces the answers and returns results sets similar to JDBC (Java Data Base Connectivity) result sets.
