Here are the changes:
Remove warning when Cython module is not available
Update import OMOP CDM for their new CSV format
Basic support for enumerated datatypes (= defined with an equivalent_to and a OneOf)
Improved synchronization and multiprocessor support
Bugfixes: * Fix IRI() return type in SPARQL * Fix SPARQL queries with two UNIONs when there is no shared variables between the unions members * Fix parsing ontology with IRI ending by '?' * Avoid reusing ID of destroyed entity (storid; reuse is problematic when sharing the quadstore with other processes)

Owlready2 0.45 has been released!
Owlready is a Python module for ontology-oriented programming. It can load OWL 2.0 ontologies and manipulate them transparently in Python.
Here are the changes:
The PREDEFINED_ONTOLOGIES global dictionary can now be used to map ontology IRI to arbitrary local pathes or URL.
The new FTSSqlite3Phrase() string type can be used to perform FTS search using Sqlite3 special syntax, e.g. default_world.search(label = FTSSqlite3Phrase("Electrocardiographic OR ECG"))
Add support for RDF plain literals, via the plainliteral Python datatype.
Bugfixes: * Fix set_name() on property when python_name is the same as name * Fix some special characters (e.g. :) and keyword (e.g. OR) in FTS search * Fix literal with no datatype (should be considered as string, see https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-Graph-Literal * Fix wrong inheritance of TransitiveProperty, ReflexiveProperty and SymmetricProperty * Fix 'DeprecationWarning: invalid escape sequence' in regexp * Raise an error when creating a new ontology inside a with ontology:... block * Use rdf:langString for locstr (was rdf:plainLiteral)

Owlready2 0.44 has been released!
Owlready is a Python module for ontology-oriented programming. It can load OWL 2.0 ontologies and manipulate them transparently in Python.
This version includes an observation framework allowing to register a listener to any entity, in order to be notified when the entity relations are modified.
It also introduces a new syntax for annotating relations: AnnotatedRelation(s,p,o).comment = ["abc"] (NB the old syntax remains supported).
Here are the changes:
New syntax for annotations on relation, e.g. AnnotatedRelation(s,p,o).comment = "abc" (the old syntax remains supported)
Optimize annotations on relations
Support GRAPH clauses in SPARQL INSERT queries
Observation framework (see owlready2.observe and doc on the observation framework)
Bugfixes: - Fix the update of equivalent_to after destroying a class - Fix the update of annotations on class when modified with SPARQL queries - Fix SPARQL GRAPH clause in SELECT queries when querying the graph as a variable and all triples are not inside the GRAPH clause - Fix LANGMATCHES SPARQL function - Prevent multiprocessing loading of large ontologies when fork is not available (i.e. on Mac) - Fix subproperties parent classes when destroying a property - Fix loading of TransitiveProperty, SymmetricProperty, AsymmetricProperty, ReflexiveProperty, IrreflexiveProperty
The new version be downloaded from PyPI (Python Package Index): https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Owlready2
Owlready2 0.43 has been released!
Owlready is a Python module for ontology-oriented programming. It can load OWL 2.0 ontologies and manipulate them transparently in Python.
This version includes a backward incompatible change: literal with different languages are now considered as different. For instance:
locstr("Test", "en") != "Test"
locstr("Test", "en") != locstr("Test", "fr")
This was not the case in previous releases, and it caused some weird bugs and confusion between literals.
I also would like to introduce a new projet: FullPy is Python module for designing web applications entirely in Python. It uses Owlready for data semantics and persistance. More information on FullPy can be found here:
Finally, due to a last minute bug, there is no 0.42 version.
Here are the changes:
INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: Consider literal with different language as different
Support GRAPH clauses in SPARQL queries
World now supports custom lock (e.g. World(lock = ...))
Bugfixes: - Fix World(enable_thread_parallelism = True) (was named enable_gevent) - Fix blank nodes in rdflib_store - Fix FILTER in SPARQL when the filter was just after a recursive query - Fix recursive query in SPARQL involving variables in their right part - Fix SPARQL query with annotations containing entities - Fix property creation when using a Union in the '>>' syntax (e.g. class Prop((MyClass | MyOtherClass) >> str): pass) - Fix UMLS extraction in PyMedTermino2 - Fix Class IRI with brackets (or other special characters) when writing RDF/XML file
The new version be downloaded from PyPI (Python Package Index): https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Owlready2
FullPy 0.1 has been released!
FullPy is a Python module for developing semantic client-server web application, entirely in Python.
This is the initial release of FullPy.
FullPy can be downloaded from PyPI (Python Package Index): https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fullpy
Owlready2 0.41 has been released!
Owlready is a Python module for ontology-oriented programming. It can load OWL 2.0 ontologies and manipulate them transparently in Python.
This version introduces some works on thread-based parallelization. The parsing of huge OWL file is now faster (about 25% faster on GO), and Owlready can execute SPARQL queries in parallel. Please refer to the doc for more info (https://owlready2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sync.html).
Here are the changes:
Parallelized huge OWL file parsing (about 25% faster on GO)
Parallelized SPARQL queries (see owlready2.sparql.execute_many() and execute(spawn = True))
Bugfixes: - Fix Class.INDIRECT_get_class_properties() with restriction on Inverse(Prop) - Fix Restriction of type HasSelf - Fix delattr in destroy_entity() - Fix blank nodes importation from RDFlib - Fix ', + and - in FTS search
