Subject: [Owlgres] Owlgres: creating tbox and abox
Message-ID: <1215415316.18369.34.camel@gehrisch-server>

Hi,

I am evaluation Owlgres. I have downloaded version 0.1 and the example
is running perfect. But how am I able to import my own Ontology? I have
created it as a OWL-Ontology in RDF/XML using Protege 3.3.1.

regards,
Johann Gehrisch

If the ontology contains both TBox and ABox axioms (i.e., the "schema"
and "data" are in the same file), you will need to separate them for
independent use (in the create and load tools).  For relatively small
ontologies, or well serialized ontologies, this is reasonable to do
manually.  For large or poorly serialized ontologies this is tedious to
do manually, and it is best to do programmatically, perhaps using the
OWLAPI [1], or similar toolkit. 

If the next OwlGres release continues to require separate loading of the
TBox and ABox, we will include a command line tool to make this easier.
I've added an issue for this at [37].
