There is a OWL Species checker here at Manchester University.
http://owl.cs.manchester.ac.uk/validator/ I use it to ensure that when I make changes in my ontology or after I have received a populated ontology form text mining that we have not accidentally go to OWL-Full form OWL-DL (It happened once.)

Hi Leonard, we used to include an OWL species checker in earlier versions of TBC, but the underlying component had been discontinued by the Jena project. So right now there is nothing out of the box. One strategy is to simply run an OWL DL inference engine such as Pellet and observe whether it will complain. The broader question that I always ask is why is the OWL DL distinction relevant in your particular case. From our experience, there are lots of users out there who believe that going beyond OWL DL is "dangerous" but don't really know why. OWL DL is a two-side sword and getting religious about pure OWL DL may prevent you from exploiting the real power of RDF-based languages. There are plenty of very useful OWL Full (or even RDFS) ontologies out there, and very little success stories of OWL DL reasoning. In my personal experience I have not seen many projects that required OWL DL compliance. Just use OWL RL implementations and other reasoners that are able to just ignore the OWL Full bits.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
