Creating SWRL Rules with OWL Editor

SWRL Rules could also be created with the OWL Editor. This Editor allows a graphical creation of Ontologies and their SWRL Rules.

Example:

The image shows an Example of a SWRL Rule in the OWL Editor. The Example is the Uncle Rule.

The Uncle Rule in the Syntax Protege is using looks like this:
Person(?x1), Person(?x2), Person(?x3), hasBrother(?x2, ?x3), hasParent(?x1, ?x2) -> Person(?x1), Person(?x3), hasUncle(?x1, ?x3)

Creating SWRL Rules with UML Class Diagram Profile for SWRL

Since it's already possible to create ontologies using the UML Profile for OWL , a new UML Profile for SWRL was developed to enhance ontologies with SWRL Rules. SWRL combines OWL (DL and Lite) and RuleML, so therefore the set of OWL Axioms will be extended to include Horn-like rules. It thus enables Horn-like rules to be combined with an OWL knowledge base, so that reasoning against those rules will be possible.
