Accessing the CBNL

The CBNL is an ontology, that is expressed in OWL.

Software vendors may access the ontology in several ways for integration into their software systems:

1. Download (TTL or RDF/XML files). This requires vendors to be familiar with RDF/OWL.
2. Query (a provided endpoint, i.e. triple store), returning a SPARQL query result (several formats are available).This requires vendors to be familiar with RDF/OWL
3. API: call webservices, returning a XML representation of the information modelled in the CB-NL. Web services provide a representation of the information in the CB-NL. This takes the form of non-OWL/RDF XML documents, that comply to a metamodel.
