I would like to run SWRL rules uppn OWL ontology and use the results in my VB.NET (web base). I downloaded OWL API (a jar file)from http://owlapi.sourceforge.net/ but in the documentation I could not find how to call this jar file from vb.net .

can you help on this?? please

This has the same answer as Can you use Java libraries in a VB.net program?

OWLAPI is a java library; in order to use it from another programming language, what's required is the ability of that language to interface with Java.

I do not have VB.net experience, but if it's possible to interface with Java at all then it's possible to use OWLAPI the same way.

  • OWLAPI tutorials are available here: https://github.com/owlcs/owlapi/wiki/Documentation – Ignazio Mar 20 '17 at 22:45
  • ok but seems it just can be work with netbeans not with vb.net.. so do i need to switch to netbeans ??? – Mehdi Tarabi Mar 23 '17 at 14:30
  • Of course it can be used from any Java IDE. Netbeans, Intellij or Eclipse can all be used. – Ignazio Mar 23 '17 at 15:23
