TL;DR

OntoExpand is introduced, a new methodology for ontology expansion that uses SPARQL CONSTRUCT queries as an efficient alternative to conventional reasoning techniques that improves performance, reduces computational overhead, is pattern driven allowing a more granular expansion control and seamlessly integrates with SPARQL endpoints.

Rewrite Once, Validate Anywhere: Producing OWL-Aware SHACL Constraints (Extended Version)

This work constructs a rewriting which takes as input both shapes and an OWL EL$^-$ ontology -- a fragment of OWL EL restricting the usage of existential restrictions -- and produces SHACL constraints, providing a powerful tool which simplifies combining reasoning with validation.
