Abstract

In this paper, we describe a preliminary version of Granul O, a system for building a granular view of individuals over an OWL ontology. The system applies granular computing techniques based on fuzzy clustering and relies on SPARQL for querying the given ontology and Fuzzy OWL 2 for representing the produced granular view. The system has been applied on a benchmark ontology in the touristic domain.
