# OWL and RDFS input

To work closer in sync with the semantic web we want to accept OWL and RDFS input.

## Purpose

Ampersand and semantic web technologies have much in common. To explore this topic and to benefit from available ontologies expressed in RDF and OWL, we want to make an OWL/RDFS parser so we can interpret ontologies in Ampersand.
