Ontologies in .NET

Question

I need to make use of some OWL ontologies in c#. Does anyone have a suggestion where I can start? Or if there are any libraries available for .NET please?

Answer 1

Take a look at ROWLEX:

ROWLEX is a powerful open source toolkit for software developers. It has been built to simplify the use of fundamental semantic web technologies (RDF and OWL) under Microsoft’s .NET platform.

Answer 2

Use Protege this is a open source tool of ontology editor and a knowledge acquisition system. It gives a GUI to define ontologies.

Answer 3

You can use RDFSharp on Microsoft Codeplex. It has a semantic extension capable of modeling, validating and reasoning on OWL-DL ontologies.
