我们提出的OWL API，一个高层次的应用程序编程接口（API）与OWL本体。OWL API与OWL 2结构规范紧密一致。它支持W3C规范中定义的语法（Functional XML、RDF/XML、OWL/XML和Manchester OWL XML）的解析和呈现;本体结构的操作;以及推理引擎的使用。OWL API的参考实现是用Java编写的，它包括各种OWL 2配置文件的验证器-- OWL 2 QL、OWL 2 EL和OWL 2 RL。OWL API在各种工具和应用程序中得到广泛使用。
We present the OWL API, a high level Application Programming Interface (API) for working with OWL ontologies. The OWL API is closely aligned with the OWL 2 structural specification. It supports parsing and rendering in the syntaxes defined in the W3C specification (Functional Syntax, RDF/XML, OWL/XML and the Manchester OWL Syntax); manipulation of ontological structures; and the use of reasoning engines. The reference implementation of the OWL API, written in Java, includes validators for the various OWL 2 profiles - OWL 2 QL, OWL 2 EL and OWL 2 RL. The OWL API has widespread usage in a variety of tools and applications.
