Summary: A module for ontology-oriented programming in Python: load OWL 2.0 ontologies as Python objects, modify them, save to OWL XML, and perform reasoning via HermiT. It can also generate dialog boxes for editing instances.

Description: Owlready
        ========
        
        Owlready (previously named Ontopy) is a module for ontology-oriented programming in Python 3.
        
        Owlready can:
        
         - Import and export OWL 2.0 ontologies in the OWL/XML format
           (other file formats are not yet supported).
        
         - Manipulates ontology classes, instances and properties transparently,
           as if they were normal Python objects.
        
         - Add Python methods to ontology classes.
        
         - Perform automatic classification of classes and instances, using the HermiT reasoner.
        
         - Automatically generate dialog boxes for editing ontology instances,
           using `Editobj3 <http://www.lesfleursdunormal.fr/static/informatique/editobj/index_en.html>`_.
        
        Owlready has been created by Jean-Baptiste Lamy at the LIMICS reseach lab.
        It is available under the GNU LGPL licence v3.

        What can I do with Owlready?
        ----------------------------
        
        Load an ontology from a local repository, or from Internet:
        
          >>> from owlready import *
          >>> onto_path.append("/path/to/your/local/ontology/repository")
          >>> onto = get_ontology("http://www.lesfleursdunormal.fr/static/_downloads/pizza_onto.owl")
          >>> onto.load()
        
        Create new classes in the ontology, possibly mixing OWL restrictions and Python methods:
        
          >>> class NonVegetarianPizza(onto.Pizza):
          ...   equivalent_to = [
          ...     onto.Pizza
          ...   & ( restriction("has_topping", SOME, onto.MeatTopping)
          ...     | restriction("has_topping", SOME, onto.FishTopping)
          ...     ) ]
          ...   def eat(self): print("Beurk! I'm vegetarian!")
        
        Access ontology class, and create new instances / individuals:
        
          >>> onto.Pizza
          pizza_onto.Pizza
          >>> test_pizza = onto.Pizza("test_pizza_owl_identifier")
          >>> test_pizza.has_topping = [ onto.CheeseTopping(),
          ...                            onto.TomatoTopping(),
          ...                            onto.MeatTopping  () ]
        
        Export to OWL/XML file:
        
          >>> test_onto.save()
        
        Perform reasoning, and classify instances and classes:
        
        ::
        
           >>> test_pizza.__class__
           onto.Pizza
           
           >>> # Execute HermiT and reparent instances and classes
           >>> onto.sync_reasoner()
           
           >>> test_pizza.__class__
           onto.NonVegetarianPizza
           >>> test_pizza.eat()
           Beurk! I'm vegetarian !
