OntoSPy
=======================

RDFLIb-based Python toolkit for inspecting ontologies on the Semantic Web.


Description
------------


OntoSPy allows you to extract all the schema information from an RDFS/OWL or SKOS vocabulary (aka an 'ontology') and navigate it using an interactive text-based interface. 

OntoSPy is a lightweight command line tool for inspecting and understanding semantic web schemas without having to load a full-blown ontology editor like Protege. It offers no ontology editing functionalities, nor it can be used to interrogate a corresponding knowledge base (eg a triplestore - although the Python library could be easily extended to do that). 

The basic workflow is simple: load a graph instantiating the ``Graph`` class; you get back an object that lets you interrogate the RDF schema. That's all!

The library can be used in standalone mode too, via the `ontospy-shell` command.

Example 
---------------------------------------------------

Import OntoSPy and instantiate the Graph object with the FOAF ontology::


	In [1]: from ontospy import ontospy

	In [2]: g = ontospy.Graph("http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/20100809.rdf")
	----------
