Ontology population: Cellfie (Protégé Plugin) and Owlready2

[Jean]

Hi,

The Protégé plugin "Cellfie" (https://github.com/protegeproject/cellfie-plugin) allows us to populate an ontology from an Excel Workbook.

From Protégé 5: Tools > Create axiom from Excel Workbook.

For example, an ontology can be populated automatically (by rules) with a spreadsheet composed of 3 columns (triples) and many rows:

- For the instances/individuals: subject | predicate (property) | object
- For the classes: subject | predicate (filler) | object

I would like to know if it is possible to perform the same automated work with Owlready2?

Thanks.
Jean.

Hi,

Owlready2 does not have this functionality as such, but using Python and Owlready2, you can program a Cellfie-liker tool easily. Python's cvs module can be used to load CSV files, which can be saved from spreadsheets (Excel or LibreOffice). However,

Best regards,
