OWLAPI Adapter

[Jan Novacek]

Hello,

i am very interessted in your project and experimenting a bit with it.
In most of my projects i'm using the OWLAPI though.
Will there be an Adapter for the OWLAPI?

Thanks,
Jan

Hi Jan,

OWLAPI is not a candidate for adapters as it does not provide the same functionalities than Jena and Sesame. 

Jena provides TDB, SDB, while Sesame provides different kind of repositories to store and query RDF. Those RDF 

stores can be query thanks to SPARQL. OWLAPI on the other hand only focus on OWL.

The purpose of EMFTriple is to provide a RDF persistence layer for EMF models and thus adapters enable connections 

to various kind of RDF stores. Those latter require at least support for SPARQL, which is not supported by OWLAPI. Adapters 

that will be made available in next versions will be 4store, bigdata and any store that support Sesame SAIL interfaces.

If you have any use case where OWLAPI could be use, we can discuss this anyway.
