Usage
Browse
https://www.star-wars-ontology.co.uk/
Please be patient with queries - this is hosted on cheap(ish) hobby-level hosting which I pay for myself and receive no funding.
Browser contains all.owl.ttl and it’s imports closure (not behind-the-scenes.owl.ttl)
For efficiency, the query page only includes event.owl.ttl and its imports - see docs/performance.md
Edit/reason
- Open all.owl.ttl with open-source OWL editor, Protege or another semantic web editor/browser
- Set the default reasoner to classify/reason with as
