Hello,
I am new to OWL and OWLReady2. My problem is the following :
I defined a OWL containing all the elements of my ontology, lets call project_ontology.owl, with IRI IRI1
I built another OWL file containing other items like individuals, based on the items of project_ontology.
I stored them in a file called graph.owl. The IRI is IRI2.
I want to aggregate data from graph.owl to project_ontology.owl. I tried to use :
project_onto.imported_ontologies.append(graph_onto)
and then save the result to the project_ontology.owl file with the .save function.
In my new project_ontology.owl, I can just see :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="
http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:xsd="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#" xmlns:rdfs="
http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#" xmlns:owl="
http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#" xml:base="IRI1"
xmlns="IRI1#">
<owl:Ontology rdf:about="IRI1">
<owl:imports rdf:resource="IRI2"/>
</owl:Ontology>
</rdf:RDF>
whereas I expected to see all the objects of graph.owl imported, and defined as NameIndividuals.
As a consequence, all the classes from project_ontology.owl that were not instantiated have disappeared from the new project_ontology.owl file. Furthermore, I cannot see the indiviuals in the OntoGraf tab, and I am not sure this solution is portable.
SO I wonder how it works.
What is the best way to aggregate the content of two OWL file without loosing the original content ?
Thank gou in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Jean-Luc.
