The Semantic Web of Everything, a blend of the emerging Internet of Everything and well-established Semantic Web paradigms, demands efficient cross-platform knowledge management technologies and tools, able to span the wide variety of devices it aims to support. This paper presents Cowl, a C library for processing Web Ontology Language (OWL) 2 ontologies, designed for strict portability and efficiency constraints. Its architecture is described and main optimization strategies are outlined. Results of a preliminary experimental campaign validate its effectiveness by comparing it with other state-of-the-art OWL toolkits.

Abstract
The Semantic Web of Everything, a blend of the emerging Internet of Everything and well-established Semantic Web paradigms, demands efficient cross-platform knowledge management technologies and tools, able to span the wide variety of devices it aims to support. This paper presents Cowl, a C library for processing Web Ontology Language (OWL) 2 ontologies, designed for strict portability and efficiency constraints. Its architecture is described and main optimization strategies are outlined. Results of a preliminary experimental campaign validate its effectiveness by comparing it with other state-of-the-art OWL toolkits.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
