Owlready 2-0.30

Hi all,

Owlready 2-0.30 is out!


This version brings two new features:

  * a SPARQL engine which translates the queries into SQL. This engine is much faster than RDFlib (around 60x), it has no dependencies and a shorter loading time. It currently supports a subset of SPARQL: SELECT, INSERT and DELETE queries, sub-queries, UNION, OPTIONAL, FILTER, BIND, FILTER EXISTS, FILTER NOT EXISTS, all functions of SPARQL, blank node notation with square brackets, e.g. ‘[a XXX]’, and property path expressions except those with parentheses.
   
    This new SPARQL engine can be used as follows (see documentation here: https://owlready2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sparql.html ):

       list(default_world.sparql("""<query>"""))


  * Dublin Core support via integrated OWL translation. It is possible to load Dublin Core directly as follows:
   
       dc = get_ontology("http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1").load()
       
Here are the changes:

* New native SPARQL engine that translates SPARQL queries to SQL
* Direct support for Dublin Core via the integration of an OWL translation
* Bugfixes:
  - Fix RecursionError when saving very deep ontologies to RDF/XML
  - Fix IRI of the form 'urn:uuid:...'
  - Fix loading ontologies that modify an imported property
 

The new version be downloaded from PyPI (Python Package Index):
