RESTful Encapsulation of OWL API
Abstract: OWL API is a high level API for working with ontologies. Despite of its functionalities and numerous advantages, it is restricted to a set of users due to its platform dependency. Being built as a java API the OWL API can only be used by java or related platform users. The major goal of this paper is to design a RESTful web interface of OWL API methods, such that ontology developers and researchers independent of platform could work with OWL API. This RESTful OWL API tool is designed to exhibit all the functionalities of OWL API that do not deal with rendering the input ontology such that it doesn't behave as an ontology editor, instead supports web ontology developers and open ontology repositories such as Ontohub.
