Ontologies with Python: Programming OWL 2.0 Ontologies with Python and Owlready2

Book Description

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 Python

Use 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 For

Beginner to experienced readers from biomedical sciences and artificial intelligence fields would find the book useful.

书名：使用Python的本体：使用Python和OwlReady2编程OWL 2.0本体

在Python中使用本体，并使用为面向本体的编程开发的Owlready2模块。您将从介绍和复习有关Python和OWL本体的内容开始。然后，您将直接了解如何在Python中访问、创建和修改本体。接下来，您将继续概述语义构造和类属性，然后介绍如何执行自动推理。您还将了解批注、多语言文本，以及如何向OWL类和本体添加Python方法。还包括使用医学术语以及直接访问RDF三元组。

Python是最常用的编程语言之一，特别是在生物医学领域，形式本体也得到了广泛的应用。然而，在Python中使用本体的资源是有限的。下载超过60,000次的Owlready2就是对这个问题的回应，这本书是第一本关于在Python中使用本体的书。

What You Will Learn

• 使用Owlready2访问和修改Python中的OWL本体
• 在动态网站上发布本体
• 在Python中执行自动推理

使用众所周知的本体，包括DBpedia和gene Ontology，以及术语资源，如UMLS(统一医学语言系统)

• 在OWL本体中集成Python方法

这本书是给谁看的？

从生物医学科学和人工智能领域的初学者到有经验的读者都会发现这本书很有用。
