OWL Reasoners still useable in 2023
This work addresses the need for an updated survey of OWL reasoners for researchers and practitioners in knowledge organization, as previous studies are over 8 years old.
The authors conducted a systematic review of over 100 OWL reasoners to assess their usability in 2023, resulting in a comprehensive list of 95 systems with project and documentation details, and made the data publicly available on GitHub.
In a systematic literature and software review over 100 OWL reasoners/systems were analyzed to see if they would still be usable in 2023. This has never been done in this capacity. OWL reasoners still play an important role in knowledge organisation and management, but the last comprehensive surveys/studies are more than 8 years old. The result of this work is a comprehensive list of 95 standalone OWL reasoners and systems using an OWL reasoner. For each item, information on project pages, source code repositories and related documentation was gathered. The raw research data is provided in a Github repository for anyone to use.
