[OWLAPI-developer] Walk through an ontology

[charbel e. <cha...@ho...>]

Hi, 

I would like an advice on what to use a reasoner, SPARQL or SWRL ?

I have an ontology with 

Classes:
Class: Device
SubClass: LightDevice

Class:Service
SubClass: SwitchPower

Class: Action
SubClass: TurnOn
SubClass: TurnOFF

Properties:
Device hasService Service
Service hasAction Action

LightDevice hasService SwitchPower
SwitchPower hasAction TrunOn
SwitchPower hasAction TrunOFF


While I am applying some ontology matching, I want to walk through some classes again.
For instance, if I am treating the SubClass  SwitchPower, I want to be able to retrieve information from the ontology about this subclass.
I want to know what Device it belongs to (lightDevice) and what actions it have (TrunOff and TrunOn)

Can anybody can give me an advice on what can I use to do so ? and how can I use it ?
A reasoner, SPARQL or SWRL?

Thanks in advance,
Paulo.
