Abstract
The Semantic Web is a vision for the future of the Web in which information is given explicit meaning, making it easier for machines to automatically process and integrate information available on the Web. Semantic Web will build on the well known Semantic Web language stack, part of which is the Web Ontology Language (OWL). Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, extensible programming language, which provides an excellent combination of clarity and versatility. The deep integration of both languages is one of the novel approaches for enabling free and interoperable data 1. In this article we present a metaclass-based implementation of the deep
integration ideas. The implementation is an early Python prototype supporting in-line class and properties declaration, instance creation and simple triple-based queries. The implementation is backed up by a well
known OWL-DL reasoner Pellet 3. The integration of the Python and OWL-DL through meta-class programming provides a unique approach, which can be implemented with any metaclass enabled scripting language.
