Evaluate Manchester syntax

This module compiles restrictions and logical constructs in Manchester syntax into Owlready2 classes. The main function in this module is manchester.evaluate(), see its docstring for usage example.

Pyparsing is used under the hood for parsing.

ManchesterError (EMMOntoPyException)

Raised on invalid Manchester notation.

Source code in ontopy/manchester.py

class ManchesterError(EMMOntoPyException):
    """Raised on invalid Manchester notation."""

evaluate(ontology, expr)

Evaluate expression in Manchester syntax.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
ontology	Ontology	The ontology within which the expression will be evaluated.	required
expr	str	Manchester expression to be evaluated.	required

Returns:

Type	Description
Construct	An Owlready2 construct that corresponds to the expression.

Examples:

from ontopy.manchester import evaluate from ontopy import get_ontology emmo = get_ontology.load()

restriction = evaluate(emmo, 'hasPart some Atom') cls = evaluate(emmo, 'Atom') expr = evaluate(emmo, 'Atom or Molecule')

Note

Logical expressions (with not, and and or) are supported as well as object property restrictions. For data properterties are only value restrictions supported so far.

def evaluate(ontology: owlready2.Ontology, expr: str) -> owlready2.Construct:
    """Evaluate expression in Manchester syntax.

    Args:
        ontology: The ontology within which the expression will be evaluated.
        expr: Manchester expression to be evaluated.

    Returns:
        An Owlready2 construct that corresponds to the expression.

    Example:
    >>> from ontopy.manchester import evaluate
    >>> from ontopy import get_ontology
    >>> emmo = get_ontology.load()

    >>> restriction = evaluate(emmo, 'hasPart some Atom')
    >>> cls = evaluate(emmo, 'Atom')
    >>> expr = evaluate(emmo, 'Atom or Molecule')

    Note:
        Logical expressions (with `not`, `and` and `or`) are supported as
        well as object property restrictions.  For data properterties are
        only value restrictions supported so far.
