[ontolog-forum] Ontology-driven software for querying facts in temporal

[Piotr Nowara <piotrnowara@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ontologists,

I have developed an open-source software for translating ontology based descriptions of facts into SQL queries. Currently it’s based on a set of OWL ontologies and a configurable JAVA software that can be easily adapted to a specific use scenario. It enables to create detailed definitions of facts in their temporal context  by writing simple sentences based on the provided vocabulary. The result is a hierarchical system of categories that can be automatically translated into SQL queries and used in reporting, data extraction, ad-hoc analysis etc. Below [1] is a link to a short video which demonstrates one of many ways of how this solution can be used. I have  also started a website[2] where I intend to gradually share information on how to configure and deploy my software

If you want to learn more details please send me a message. My long-term goal is to make this software accessible for a wider community so I have decided to look for potential users and/or contributors. Currently I'm deploying this solution in a commercial project in healthcare domain where it will be used for storing and integrating knowledge gathered from data-mining tools and transforming it to a set of easy-to-use SQL queries. 

Best regards,

Piotr Nowara
