What is owlapy?

Owlapy is an open-source software library in python that is used to represent entities in OWL 2 Web Ontology Language.

We identified the gap of having a library that will serve as a base structure for representing OWL entities in python and like that, owlapy was created. Owlapy is loosely based on its java-counterpart, owlapi. Owlapy is currently utilized by powerful libraries such as Ontolearn and OntoSample.

Owlapy is the perfect choice for machine learning projects that are built in python and focus on knowledge graphs and class expression learnings.
