Brain helps you to quickly and easily buid OWL ontologies and knowledge bases. It aims at bridging the gap between graphical user interfaces (GUI) such as Protege and the OWL-API.
The library is useful to develop Semantic Web applications and particularly suited for the biomedical domain. Brain wraps the interaction with the OWL-API an relies on Elk for reasoning tasks.
The interaction with Brain is done with the user friendly Manchester syntax. Brain exposes a series of method to help you validate and transform strings of characters into OWL expressions.
Brain has been created for Semantic Web application developers. The library is thread-safe which allows you to handle ontologies in a web server setting.
OWL is a very demanding in terms of computing, but thanks to the OWL 2 EL profile, it is possible to thread reasoning some tasks in parallel (Elk reasoner). Brain therefore supports the OWL 2 EL to help you build scalable solutions.
OWL knowledge bases can be easily queried with Brain. Powerful questions can be quickly answered with the help of the Elk reasoner. Brain accepts the formulation of queries from labels as well as from class expressions.
