How to create individuals dynamically

[IWilliams]

I have a list of strings. e.g. myList=["tom", "pam", "sam", ]
I would like to load an ontology and dynamically create individuals for a particular class using the strings in myList. How can I achieve this? I am new to Owlready2.

Thanks

You may want to check the nice documentation
http://owlready2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/class.html#creating-individuals

something like
classObj = myOnto.search(label="*classLabel")[0] # you may need to pick another element of the list
for ind in myList:
    myInd = classObj(ind)

You can also store myInd somewhere for direct access, like in a dictionary for instance.

Hope this helps!

Thank you! I have not tried it yet, but from reading the doc, I strongly believe it will work. I will let you know.
