ontopy

Backend for EMMOntoPy.

For developers: The usage of s, p, and o represent the different parts of an RDF Triple: subject, predicate, and object.

OntopyStrategy

Triplestore strategy for EMMOntoPy.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
base_iri Optional[str]

The base iri of the ontology. Default to "http://example.com/onto#" if onto is not given.

None
database Optional[str]

Unused - ontopy does not support multiple databases.

None
onto Optional[Ontology]

Ontology to initiate the triplestore from. Defaults to an new ontology with the given base_iri.

None
load bool

Whether to load the ontology.

False
kwargs

Keyword arguments passed to the ontology load() method.

{}

Either the base_iri or onto argument must be provided.
