In addition to RDFS++ reasoning, AllegroGraph also supports reasoning over hasValue restrictions in equivalent classes or subclasses.
For example, here is an owl class definition for AtlantisMission, defined as a SpaceMission where the shuttleUsed
property has the value Atlantis
.
<owl:Class rdf:ID="AtlantisMission">
<rdfs:subClassOf
rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#Thing"/>
<rdfs:label
rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">
Atlantis mission
</rdfs:label>
<owl:equivalentClass>
<owl:Class>
<owl:intersectionOf rdf:parseType="Collection">
<rdf:Description rdf:ID="SpaceMission"/>
<owl:Restriction>
<owl:onProperty rdf:resource="#shuttleUsed"/>
<owl:hasValue rdf:resource="#Atlantis"/>
</owl:Restriction>
</owl:intersectionOf>
</owl:Class>
</owl:equivalentClass>
</owl:Class>
We can make two types of inferences from this definition.
shuttleUsed
when we have an Instance of an AtlantisMission. For example, if a triple-store contains the the ontology definition above and we add the following triple:
(add-triple
!m:Mission4 !rdf:type !m:AtlantisMission)
then we can derive that the shuttleUsed
property must be Atlantis
with the following query.
(select (?val)
(q !m:Mission3 !m:shuttleUsed ?val))
AtlantisMission
if it has the right properties. If we added the following instance properties to a triple-store
(add-triple
!m:Mission5 !m:shuttleUsed !m:Atlantis)
(add-triple
!m:Mission5 !rdf:type !m:SpaceMission)
then the following query would derive that ?x
is an AtlantisMission
.
(select (?x)
(q !m:Mission5 !rdf:type ?x))
hasValue reasoning is not enabled by default. The tutorial below will show how to turn this on.
infer
or includeInferred
is an argument, the values can be the boolean False (which means no reasoning), True, which is the same as "rdfs++", or the strings "rdfs++" (rdf++ reasoning but not hasValue reasoning) or "restriction" ("restriction" turns on hasValue reasoning as well as rdf++ reasoning).
infer
parameter to restriction
when using the repository interface of the HTTP protocol.
In principle the following code will all run. Just evaluate every expression from top to bottom and you will see the results.
; load agraph into lisp
(require :agraph)
; go into the triple-store-user package
(in-package :triple-store-user)
;; make it easier to type URIs
(enable-!-reader)
The following will define the function to load the files SpaceMissions2.ntriples
into the triple-store. This file is included in the distribution. It will help you understanding of the contents of this file to inspect it in TopBraid Composer.
(defun read-sm ()
(create-triple-store "test11")
(load-ntriples "sys:agraph;tutorial-files;SpaceMissions2.ntriples"))
(time (read-sm)) ; do the actual read
We are lazy and don't want to type long namespaces:
(register-namespace
"m" "http://www.topbraid.org/spacemissions.owl#")
;; lets look at the triples..
(print-triples *db* :limit nil :format :terse)
To use restriction reasoning, we must either apply-rdfs++-reasoner and then use restriction-reasoning-enabled-p or use the initarg
.
(apply-rdfs++-reasoner)
(setf (restriction-reasoning-enabled-p *db*) t)
or
(apply-rdfs++-reasoner :restriction-reasoning-enabled t)
Deriving default values from type information
(add-triple
!m:Mission1 !rdf:type !m:SpaceMissionIn2000)
(add-triple
!m:Mission1 !m:added-by !m:Jans)
(select (?x ?y)
(q !m:Mission1 !m:startYear ?x)
(q- !m:Mission1 !m:added-by ?y))
and some more examples:
(add-triple
!m:Mission3 !rdf:type !m:DiscoveryMission)
(add-triple
!m:Mission4 !rdf:type !m:AtlantisMission)
(select (?val)
(q !m:Mission3 !m:shuttleUsed ?val))
(select (?val)
(q !m:Mission4 !m:shuttleUsed ?val))
(select ()
(q !m:Mission4 !m:shuttleUsed !m:Atlantis)
(write 'SUCCESS))
shuttleUsed
property to Mission5
and then we can automatically derive that Mission5
is an AtlantisMission
.
(add-triple
!m:Mission5 !m:shuttleUsed !m:Atlantis)
Now this select
query returns two results:
(select (?x)
(q !m:Mission5 !rdf:type ?x))
(("http://www.topbraid.org/spacemissions.owl#SpaceMission")
("http://www.topbraid.org/spacemissions.owl#AtlantisMission"))
The first result is due to the fact that the rdfs:range
of the property shuttleUsed
is 'SpaceMission'. So by adding the fact shuttleUsed
to Mission5
the RDFS++ range reasoning will derive that Mission5
is a SpaceMission
.
Then the restriction
reasoning module uses the fact that Misison5
is a SpaceMission
and the shuttleUsed
is Atlantis
to derive that Mission5
is an AtlantisMission
.
The following queries are also interesting. The first select will only return Mission4
because we use q-
and q-
looks only at the ground triples. It returns Mission4
because we added that triple above:
(select (?x)
(q- ?x !rdf:type !m:AtlantisMission))
-> (("http://www.topbraid.org/spacemissions.owl#Mission4"))
The following query returns Mission4
and also Mission5
because of hasValue
reasoning. (Note how we use q
here to use the reasoner)
(select (?x)
(q ?x !rdf:type !m:AtlantisMission))
->
(("http://www.topbraid.org/spacemissions.owl#Mission4")
("http://www.topbraid.org/spacemissions.owl#Mission5"))
Now we can add some more triples:
(add-triple !m:Mission6 !m:shuttleUsed !m:Columbia)
(add-triple !m:Mission6 !rdf:type !m:SpaceMission)
(select (?x)
(q !m:Mission6 !rdf:type ?x))
(select (?x)
(q ?x !rdf:type !m:DiscoveryMission))
(select ()
(q !m:Mission6 !rdf:type !m:DiscoveryMission)
(lisp (print 'SUCCESS)))
And finally we show that we can do quite complex hasValue
restrictions. Please look in TopBraidComposer or any other ontology browser how a MilitarySpaceMission
is defined by multiple hasValue
restrictions.
We add some values and everything should work.
(add-triple !m:Mission7 !rdf:type !m:SpaceMission)
(add-triple !m:Mission7 !m:hasMissionType !m:SpecialMissionType)
(add-triple !m:Mission7 !m:hasMissionType !m:MilitaryMissionType)
(select (?x ?y)
(q !m:Mission7 ?x ?y))
(select (?type)
(q !m:Mission7 !rdf:type ?type))
(select (?x)
(q ?x !rdf:type !m:MilitarySpaceMission))
