<div><p>The OWL 2 Web Ontology Language, informally OWL 2, is an ontology language for the Semantic Web with formally defined meaning.  OWL 2 ontologies provide classes, properties, individuals, and data values and are stored as Semantic Web documents.  OWL 2 ontologies can be used along with information written in RDF, and OWL 2 ontologies themselves are primarily exchanged as RDF documents.  The OWL 2 <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/REC-owl2-overview-20091027/" title="Document Overview">Document Overview</a> describes the overall state of OWL 2, and should be read before other OWL 2 documents.</p><p>This document defines the mapping of OWL 2 ontologies into RDF graphs, and vice versa.</p></div>

<h4 class="no-toc no-num" id="sotd-xml-dep">XML Schema Datatypes Dependency</h4>

<p>OWL 2 is defined to use datatypes defined in the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/">XML Schema Definition Language (XSD)</a>.  As of this writing, the latest W3C Recommendation for XSD is version 1.0, with <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-1/">version 1.1</a> progressing toward Recommendation.  OWL 2 has been designed to take advantage of the new datatypes and clearer explanations available in XSD 1.1, but for now those advantages are being partially put on hold.  Specifically, until XSD 1.1 becomes a W3C Recommendation, the elements of OWL 2 which are based on it should be considered <em>optional</em>, as detailed in <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/REC-owl2-conformance-20091027/#XML_Schema_Datatypes">Conformance, section 2.3</a>.  Upon the publication of XSD 1.1 as a W3C Recommendation, those elements cease to be optional and are to be considered required as otherwise specified.</p>

<p>We suggest that for now developers and users follow the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/CR-xmlschema11-1-20090430/">XSD 1.1 Candidate Recommendation</a>.  Based on discussions between the Schema and OWL Working Groups, we do not expect any implementation changes will be necessary as XSD 1.1 advances to Recommendation.</p>

<a name="Introduction_and_Preliminaries"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline">1  Introduction and Preliminaries </span></h2>
<p>This document defines two mappings between the structural specification of OWL 2 [<cite><a href="#ref-owl-2-specification" title="">OWL 2 Specification</a></cite>] and RDF graphs [<cite><a href="#ref-rdf-concepts" title="">RDF Concepts</a></cite>]. The mapping presented in <a href="#Mapping_from_the_Structural_Specification_to_RDF_Graphs" title="">Section 2</a> can be used to transform any OWL 2 ontology <i>O</i> into an RDF graph <i>T(O)</i>. The mapping presented in <a href="#Mapping_from_RDF_Graphs_to_the_Structural_Specification" title="">Section 3</a> can be used to transform an RDF graph <i>G</i> satisfying certain restrictions into an OWL 2 DL ontology <i>O<sub>G</sub></i>. These transformations do not incur any change in the formal meaning of the ontology. More precisely, for any OWL 2 DL ontology <i>O</i>, let <i>G = T(O)</i> be the RDF graph obtained by transforming <i>O</i> as specified in <a href="#Mapping_from_the_Structural_Specification_to_RDF_Graphs" title="">Section 2</a>, and let <i>O<sub>G</sub></i> be the OWL 2 DL ontology obtained by applying the reverse transformation from <a href="#Mapping_from_RDF_Graphs_to_the_Structural_Specification" title="">Section 3</a> to <i>G</i>; then, <i>O</i> and <i>O<sub>G</sub></i> are logically equivalent &mdash; that is, they have exactly the same set of models.
</p><p>The mappings presented in this document are backwards-compatible with that of OWL 1 DL: every OWL 1 DL ontology encoded as an RDF graph can be mapped into a valid OWL 2 DL ontology using the mapping from <a href="#Mapping_from_RDF_Graphs_to_the_Structural_Specification" title="">Section 3</a> such that the resulting OWL 2 DL ontology has exactly the same set of models as the original OWL 1 DL ontology.
</p><p>The syntax for triples used in this document is the one used in the RDF Semantics [<cite><a href="#ref-rdf-semantics" title="">RDF Semantics</a></cite>]. Full IRIs are abbreviated using the prefixes from the OWL 2 Specification [<cite><a href="#ref-owl-2-specification" title="">OWL 2 Specification</a></cite>]. OWL 2 ontologies mentioned in this document should be understood as instances of the structural specification of OWL 2 [<cite><a href="#ref-owl-2-specification" title="">OWL 2 Specification</a></cite>]; when required, these are written in this document using the functional-style syntax.
</p><p>The following notation is used throughout this document for referring to parts of RDF graphs:
</p>
<ul><li> <span class="name">*:x</span> denotes an IRI;
</li><li> <span class="name">_:x</span> denotes a blank node;
</li><li> <span class="name">x</span> denotes a blank node or an IRI;
</li><li> <span class="name">lt</span> denotes a literal; and
</li><li> <span class="name">xlt</span> denotes a blank node, an IRI, or a literal.
</li></ul>
<p>The italicized keywords <em class="RFC2119" title="MUST in RFC 2119 context">MUST</em>, <em class="RFC2119" title="MUST NOT in RFC 2119 context">MUST NOT</em>, <em class="RFC2119" title="SHOULD in RFC 2119 context">SHOULD</em>, <em class="RFC2119" title="SHOULD NOT in RFC 2119 context">SHOULD NOT</em>, and <em class="RFC2119" title="MAY in RFC 2119 context">MAY</em> are used to specify normative features of OWL 2 documents and tools, and are interpreted as specified in RFC 2119 [<cite><a href="#ref-rfc-2119" title="">RFC 2119</a></cite>].

<a name="Mapping_from_the_Structural_Specification_to_RDF_Graphs"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline">2  Mapping from the Structural Specification to RDF Graphs </span></h2>
<p>This section defines a mapping of an OWL 2 ontology <i>O</i> into an RDF graph <i>T(O)</i>. The mapping is presented in three parts. <a href="#Translation_of_Axioms_without_Annotations" title="">Section 2.1</a> shows how to translate axioms that do not contain annotations, <a href="#Translation_of_Annotations" title="">Section 2.2</a> shows how to translate annotations, and <a href="#Translation_of_Axioms_with_Annotations" title="">Section 2.3</a> shows how to translate axioms containing annotations.
</p>
<a name="Translation_of_Axioms_without_Annotations"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">2.1  Translation of Axioms without Annotations </span></h3>
<p>Table 1 presents the operator <i>T</i> that maps an OWL 2 ontology <i>O</i> into an RDF graph <i>T(O)</i>, provided that no axiom in <i>O</i> is annotated. The mapping is defined recursively; that is, the mapping of a construct often depends on the mappings of its subconstructs, but in a slightly unusual way: if the mapping of a construct refers to the mapping of a subconstruct, then the triples generated by the recursive invocation of the mapping on the subconstruct are added to the graph under construction, and the <i>main node</i> of the mapping of the subconstruct is used in place of the recursive invocation itself.
</p><p>The definition of the operator <i>T</i> uses the operator <i>TANN</i> in order to translate annotations. The operator <i>TANN</i> is defined in <a href="#Translation_of_Annotations" title="">Section 2.2</a>. It takes an annotation and an IRI or a blank node and produces the triples that attach the annotation to the supplied object.
</p><p>In the mapping, each generated blank node (i.e., each blank node that does not correspond to an anonymous individual) is fresh in each application of a mapping rule. Furthermore, possible conditions on the mapping rules are enclosed in curly braces '{ }'. Finally, the following conventions are used in this section to denote different parts of OWL 2 ontologies:
</p>
<ul><li> <span class="name">OP</span> denotes an object property;
</li><li> <span class="name">OPE</span> denotes an object property expression;
</li><li> <span class="name">DP</span> denotes a data property;
</li><li> <span class="name">DPE</span> denotes a data property expression;
</li><li> <span class="name">AP</span> denotes an annotation property;
</li><li> <span class="name">C</span> denotes a class;
</li><li> <span class="name">CE</span> denotes a class expression;
</li><li> <span class="name">DT</span> denotes a datatype;
</li><li> <span class="name">DR</span> denotes a data range;
</li><li> <span class="name">U</span> denotes an IRI;
</li><li> <span class="name">F</span> denotes a constraining facet;
</li><li> <span class="name">a</span> denotes an individual (named or anonymous);
</li><li> <span class="name">*:a</span> denotes a named individual;
</li><li> <span class="name">lt</span> denotes a literal;
</li><li> <span class="name">as</span> denotes an annotation source; and
</li><li> <span class="name">av</span> denotes an annotation value.
</li></ul>
<p>In this section, <span class="name">T(SEQ y<sub>1</sub> ... y<sub>n</sub>)</span> denotes the translation of a sequence of objects from the structural specification into an RDF list, as shown in Table 1.

<p>For <i>ax'</i> of type <span class="nonterminal">DisjointUnion</span>, <span class="nonterminal">SubObjectPropertyOf</span> with a subproperty chain, or <span class="nonterminal">HasKey</span>, the first triple from the corresponding row of Table 1 is the <i>main</i> triple and it is subjected to the transformation described above; the other triples from the corresponding row of Table 1 &mdash; called <i>side</i> triples &mdash; are output without any change.

<p>For backwards compatibility with OWL 1 DL, if <i>G</i> contains an <i>owl:imports</i> triple pointing to an RDF document encoding an RDF graph <i>G'</i> where <i>G'</i> does not have an ontology header, this <i>owl:imports</i> triple is interpreted as an <i>include</i> rather than an import &mdash; that is, the triples of <i>G'</i> are included into <i>G</i> and are not parsed into a separate ontology.

<a name="Populating_an_Ontology"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">3.2  Populating an Ontology </span></h3>
<p>This section specifies the result of step CP&nbsp;3.3 of the canonical parsing process on an RDF graph <i>G</i>, the corresponding instance <i>O<sub>G</sub></i> of the <span class="nonterminal">Ontology</span> class, and the set <i>AllDecl(G)</i> of all declarations for <i>G</i> computed as specified in step CP&nbsp;3.1 of the canonical parsing process.
</p>
<a name="Analyzing_Declarations"></a><h4> <span class="mw-headline">3.2.1  Analyzing Declarations </span></h4>
<p>The following functions map an IRI or a blank node <span class="name">x</span> occurring in <i>G</i> into an object of the structural specification. In particular,
</p>
<ul><li> <span class="name">CE(x)</span> maps <span class="name">x</span> into a class expression,
</li><li> <span class="name">DR(x)</span> maps <span class="name">x</span> into a data range,
</li><li> <span class="name">OPE(x)</span> maps <span class="name">x</span> into an object property expression,
</li><li> <span class="name">DPE(x)</span> maps <span class="name">x</span> into a data property expression, and
</li><li> <span class="name">AP(x)</span> maps <span class="name">x</span> into an annotation property.
</li></ul>
<p>Initially, these functions are undefined for all IRIs and blank nodes occurring in <i>G</i>; this is written as <span class="name">CE(x) = &epsilon;</span>, <span class="name">DR(x) = &epsilon;</span>, <span class="name">OPE(x) = &epsilon;</span>, <span class="name">DPE(x) = &epsilon;</span>, and <span class="name">AP(x) = &epsilon;</span>. The functions are updated as parsing progresses. All of the following conditions <em class="RFC2119" title="MUST in RFC 2119 context">MUST</em> be satisfied at any given point in time during parsing.
</p>
<ul><li> For each <span class="name">x</span>, at most one of <span class="name">OPE(x)</span>, <span class="name">DPE(x)</span>, and <span class="name">AP(x)</span> is defined.
</li><li> For each <span class="name">x</span>, at most one of <span class="name">CE(x)</span> and <span class="name">DR(x)</span> is defined.
</li></ul>
<p>Furthermore, the value of any of these functions for any <span class="name">x</span> <em class="RFC2119" title="MUST NOT in RFC 2119 context">MUST NOT</em> be redefined during parsing (i.e., if a function is not undefined for <span class="name">x</span>, no attempt should be made to change the function's value for <span class="name">x</span>).
</p><p>Functions <span class="name">CE</span>, <span class="name">DR</span>, <span class="name">OPE</span>, <span class="name">DPE</span>, and <span class="name">AP</span> are initialized as shown in Table 9.

<p>The annotations in <i>G</i> are parsed next. The function <span class="name">ANN</span> assigns a set of annotations <span class="name">ANN(x)</span> to each IRI or blank node <span class="name">x</span>. This function is initialized by setting <span class="name">ANN(x)</span> = &empty; for each each IRI or blank node <span class="name">x</span>. Next, the triple patterns from Table 10 are matched in <i>G</i> and, for each matched pattern, <span class="name">ANN(x)</span> is extended with an annotation from the right column. Each time one of these triple patterns is matched, the matched triples are removed from <i>G</i>. This process is repeated until no further matches are possible.
