Implementation prototype

Section 1: OWL Meta-model (SMW-mOWL) Templates

• Concept: Template:Concept, Form:Concept, test: CNL Concept Test
  • Template:Some,Template:All, Template:Value
  • Template:Cardinality, Template:maxCardinality, Template:minCardinality
  • Template:ClassRelation
  • Template:ClassListRelation
  • Template:OneOfRelation
• Property: Template:Property, Form:Property, test: CNL Property Test
  • Template:PropertyRelation
• Individual : Template:Individual, Form:Individual, test: CNL Individual Test
  • Template:Membership
  • Template:IndividualRelation
  • Template:PropertyValue

Section 2: Rabbit Templates

Main template for concept-related statements: Template:CNL.Rabbit.Concept

all concept template has two parameters: 1 - the concept's name 2- the ending of the sentence (; or .)

• Template:CNL.Rabbit.getClassDeclaration -- get class declaration
• Template:CNL.Rabbit.getLabel -- get CNL label of a page
• Template:CNL.Rabbit.getSuperClasses -- get categories of a page
• Template:CNL.Rabbit.getConceptRelationAssertions -- CNL statements for rdfs:subClassOf, owl:equivalentClass, owl:complementOf, owl:disjointWith
  • (obsolete) Template:CNL.Rabbit.getSuperClassAssertion -- get CNL statements of a page's categories
  • (obsolete) Template:CNL.Rabbit.getDisjointClasses -- get disjoint class of a page
• Template:CNL.Rabbit.getConceptListRelationAssertions -- get CNL statements of oneOf, intersectionOf, unionOf
• Template:CNL.Rabbit.getSomeRestrictionAssertion -- get CNL statements of a page's "some values from" restriction
• Template:CNL.Rabbit.getHasValueAssertion -- get CNL statements of a page's "has value" restriction
• Template:CNL.Rabbit.getAllRestrictionAssertion -- get CNL statements of a page's "all values from" restriction
• Template:CNL.Rabbit.getCardinalityAssertion -- get CNL statements of a page's "Cardinality" restriction
• Template:CNL.Rabbit.getMaxCardinalityAssertion -- get CNL statements of a page's "maxCardinality" restriction
• Template:CNL.Rabbit.getMinCardinalityAssertion -- get CNL statements of a page's "minCardinality" restriction

Main template for property-related templates: Template:CNL.Rabbit.Property

• Template:CNL.Rabbit.getPropertyDeclaration
• Template:CNL.Rabbit.getPropertyDomanRangeAssertations - CNL statements for rdfs:domain and rdfs:range
• Template:CNL.Rabbit.getPropertyClassificationAssertions - if it is Owl:FunctionalProperty, Owl:InverseFunctionalProperty, Owl:SymmetricProperty or Owl:TransitiveProperty
• Template:CNL.Rabbit.getPropertyRelationAssertions - CNL statements for owl:inverseOf, rdsfs:subPropertyOf, and owl:equivalentProperty.

Main template for individual-related templates: Template:CNL.Rabbit.Individual

• Template:CNL.Rabbit.getClassMembershipDeclaration
• Template:CNL.Rabbit.getIndividualRelationAssertations
• Template:CNL.Rabbit.getIndividualPropertyValueAssertations

Section 3: A simple Rabbit Parser

• Rabbit Parsing Test

Section 4: OWL export

Example:

• Rabbit Ontology
  • Category:Rabbit, Property:Eat, Bugs Bunny
