Hi everyone,

for my thesis I compare different technologies to realize constraint checking for ontologies. I am currently interested between the difference between SPARQL and SWRL/SQWRL. In the FAQ (http://spinrdf.org/faq.html) it is said that " SPIN is more expressive than SWRL, because SPARQL has various features such as UNIONs and FILTER expressions"

In the Protege Mailinglist, the opposite is affirmed.
(https://mailman.stanford.edu/pipermail/protege-owl/2009-September/012148.html)
"SPARQL can be used to query OWL ontologies if they are serialized as RDF triples but has no understanding of the semantics associated/ /with those triples/." /Martin O'Connor gives an example that can be expressed in SQWRL but not in SPARQL.

Now, I am lost. Is there a good reference for the comparison between SPARQL/SWRL/SQWRL ? Have you an example for the statement, that SPARQL is more expressive than SWRL ?

Thanks a lot.

Rita
