Issue python adapter to owl

[Susana Alves <su...@ist.utl.pt>]

Hello all,

I am doing my work with ontologies and python.

In particular, i need to invoke an OWL reasoner from python. For that
purpose, I have downloaded seth and I have tried using it but it requires
old packages (such as rdflib) and I can not put it to work.

Basically, i need an owl reasoner that can be used with python. Do you know
more recently tools that can be used to my purpose or if Jena has already
implemented an adaptor/module to complement my purpose?

Thank you in advance,

Susana Alves

You could try jython [1] which would allow full use of jena from python.

Beyond jena and java (and hence off topic) there is fuxi [2] which has some OWL support.
