Dear All,
I found this information regarding the use of the so called ABox and TBox
with a reasoner in Jena:
https://jena.apache.org/documentation/ontology/
However, I wonder if there is the possibility, after creating and
populating an ontology with instances, to split the ontology in abox,
tbox?.
There's certainly no built in operation in Jena to make that sort of
separation. In principle someone could develop such a thing but not sure
how useful it would be - especially given how some communities use
classes for things that others would regard as instance data.
I also wonder if loading these separated graphs to a reasoner should be
more or less efficient in computational terms, in comparison to loading
both ( ABox and TBox ) just in only one file or ontology?, or does it not
make any difference?
Would make very little difference - the separation would slow things
down fractionally but not enough to notice.
