Use ontologies in Python with the Owlready2 module developed for ontology-oriented
programming. You will start with an introduction and refresher on Python and OWL ontologies.
Then you will dive straight into how to access create and modify ontologies in Python. Next
you will move on to an overview of semantic constructs and class properties followed by how to
perform automatic reasoning. You will also learn about annotations multilingual texts and how
to add Python methods to OWL classes and ontologies. Using medical terminologies as well as
direct access to RDF triples is also covered. Python is one of the most used programming
languages especially in the biomedical field and formal ontologies are also widely used.
However there are limited resources for the use of ontologies in Python. Owlready2 downloaded
more than 60 000 times is a response to this problem and this book is the first one on the
topic of using ontologies with Python. What You Will Learn Use Owlready2 to access and modify
OWL ontologies in Python Publish ontologies on dynamic websites Perform automatic reasoning in
PythonUse well-known ontologies including DBpedia and Gene Ontology and terminological
resources such as UMLS (Unified Medical Language System) Integrate Python methods in OWL
ontologies Who Is This Book ForBeginner to experienced readers from biomedical sciences and
artificial intelligence fields would find the book useful.
