Apparently, properties are not imported when an ontology is imported - not even
the subclass relationship. To test this, I have created two simple ontologies.
First, the base (imported) ontology:
<!DOCTYPE rdf:RDF [
<!ENTITY xsd "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#"; >
<!ENTITY owl "http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#"; >
<!ENTITY rdf "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"; >
]>
<rdf:RDF xmlns="http://luminary.unx.sas.com/test#";
xml:base="http://luminary.unx.sas.com/test#";
xmlns:owl="http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#";
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";
xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#";>
<owl:Ontology rdf:about="TestBase">
<rdfs:comment>Test Base Ontology</rdfs:comment>
<rdfs:label>Test Base Ontology</rdfs:label>
</owl:Ontology>
<owl:Class rdf:ID="Person" />
<owl:Class rdf:ID="Teacher">
<rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="#Person" />
</owl:Class>
</rdf:RDF>
Next, the importing ontology:
<!DOCTYPE rdf:RDF [
<!ENTITY xsd "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#"; >
<!ENTITY owl "http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#"; >
<!ENTITY rdf "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"; >
<!ENTITY tst "http://luminary.unx.sas.com/test#"; >
]>
<rdf:RDF xmlns="http://luminary.unx.sas.com/import#";
xml:base="http://luminary.unx.sas.com/import#";
xmlns:owl="http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#";
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";
xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#";
xmlns:tst="http://luminary.unx.sas.com/test#";>
<owl:Ontology rdf:about="TestImport">
<rdfs:comment>Test Import Ontology</rdfs:comment>
<rdfs:label>Test Import Ontology</rdfs:label>
<owl:imports
rdf:resource="http://luminary.unx.sas.com/luminary/testbase.owl"/>
</owl:Ontology>
<owl:Class rdf:ID="Administrator">
<rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="&tst;Person" />
</owl:Class>
</rdf:RDF>
Finally, here is the Java class I wrote to test this:
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Iterator;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.ontology.OntClass;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.ontology.OntModel;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.ontology.OntModelSpec;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.rdf.model.*;
import com.hp.hpl.jena.vocabulary.RDFS;
public class SubclassTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
OntModel model =
ModelFactory.createOntologyModel(OntModelSpec.OWL_DL_MEM_RULE_INF);
FileInputStream inStream =
new FileInputStream("resources/testimport.owl");
model.read(inStream, null);
inStream.close();
for (Iterator<OntClass> clsIter = model.listClasses(); clsIter
.hasNext();) {
OntClass cls = clsIter.next();
System.out.println("CLS: " + cls.getURI());
for (StmtIterator stIter =
model.getBaseModel().listStatements(cls, RDFS.subClassOf,
(RDFNode) null); stIter.hasNext();) {
Statement stmt = stIter.next();
RDFNode obj = stmt.getObject();
if (obj.isURIResource()) {
OntClass par = model.getOntClass(obj.toString());
System.out.println(" Parent: " + par.getURI());
}
}
}
}
}
The output from the class shows the following (I've trimmed the
www.w3.org<http://www.w3.org> classes from this for brevity):
[Aside: for testing import processing it would be simpler to work
without inference so you can see the wood for the trees.]
CLS: http://luminary.unx.sas.com/import#Administrator
Parent: http://luminary.unx.sas.com/test#Person
CLS: http://luminary.unx.sas.com/test#Teacher
CLS: http://luminary.unx.sas.com/test#Person
Clearly, the Teacher is a subclass of Person, as it is defined in the base
ontology. However, this relationship does not appear. When an ontology is
imported, it is supposed to import all definitions and statements. However,
this is clearly not the case.
How are you expecting the imported document to be located?
The import URL is given as:
http://luminary.unx.sas.com/luminary/testbase.owl
but that URL gives a 404 for me.
To map a URL onto a local file you need either an ont-policy.rdf file or
need to programatically configure an OntDocumentManager, as described in:
http://jena.apache.org/documentation/ontology/
Your code doesn't include any OntDocumentManager set up so presumably
you are relying on an ont-policy document, in which case the problem may
be in the mapping file itself or the file might not be being found in
your execution environment.
