It has been argued that it is much easier to convey logical statements using rules rather than
OWL (or description logic (DL)) axioms. Based on recent theoretical developments on
transformations between rules and DLs, we have developed ROWLTab, a Protégé plugin
that allows users to enter OWL axioms by way of rules; the plugin then automatically
converts these rules into OWL 2 DL axioms if possible, and prompts the user in case such a
conversion is not possible without weakening the semantics of the rule. In this paper, we …
