However, these ontologies are implemented in languages (e.g. OWL) that are difficult to understand by users who are not familiar with knowledge representation techniques. In particular, this affects web developers who want to develop ontology-based applications but may find challenging accessing ontology-based data in knowledge graphs through SPARQL queries. To address this problem, we propose an accessible layer for ontology-based knowledge graphs through REST APIs. We define a mapping specification between the Web Ontology Language (OWL) and the OpenAPI Specification (OAS) to provide ontology-based API definitions in a language well-known to web developers. Our mapping specification identifies key similarities between OWL and OAS and provides implementation guidelines and examples. We also developed a reference mapping implementation that automatically transforms OWL ontologies into OpenAPI specifications in a matter of seconds. %@ 978-3-030-65847-2
