Abstract
Recognizing the complexity of the Description Logic-based query of 0WL-DL ontologies for the non-specialist, we introduce a query tool called Ontoligent Interactive Query (OntoIQ). This tool provides a well-organized user interface for a variety of users, from the beginner to the professional. Users can browse ontologies and build queries using query patterns and ontology content. OntoIQ translates queries automatically into the new RACER Query language (nRQL) syntax and presents them to description logic automated reasoner RACER which returns the query results. The tool includes import and export functions so that queries can be stored, shared, and re-imported by other users. Users are not required to learn the nRQL syntax. OntoIQ software is available for download at The FungalWeb website.
