What query languages does the Snobase Ontology Management System support?
Currently, Snobase support a variant of OWL Query Language (OWL-QL) as an ontological equivalent of SQL (Structured Query Language) for our ontology management system. OWL-QL is a language and protocol supporting agent-to-agent query-answering dialogues using knowledge represented in OWL. It precisely specifies the semantic relationships among a query, a query answer, and the ontology base(s) used to produce the answer. It also supports query-answering dialogues in which the answering agent may use automated reasoning methods to derive answers to queries.
