From Semantic Web Technologies
OWL 2 - Theory and Practice
a tutorial at ISWC2010, Shanghai, China, November 2010
Speakers: Pascal Hitzler, Héctor Pérez-Urbina
Abstract
The revision OWL 2 of the Web Ontology Languages has recently been completed. It provides extended modelling capabilities, alternative syntaxes, revised semantics, and a different layering. In this tutorial, we (1) thoroughly introduce OWL 2, its syntaxes, and its formal semantics; and (2) explain the use of several major OWL tools – including Protégé, Jena, the OWL API, and Pellet – in hands-on sessions.
