mOWL: Machine Learning Library with Ontologies

mOWL is a library that provides different machine learning methods in which ontologies are used as background knowledge. mOWL is developed mainly in Python, but we have integrated the functionalities of OWLAPI, which is written in Java, for which we use JPype to bind Python with the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
