Even if you can express something in OWL, it often becomes convoluted and non-intuitive. With SPARQL (CONSTRUCT/INSERT) you can do so much more, including the use cases that OWL was supposed to solve. SPIN and later SHACL were partially created to declaratively link SPARQL queries with the domain ontologies. On N3 rules (mentioned in this thread), I wonder whether this shouldn't simply reuse SPARQL, esp for the built-ins. Why reinvent the wheel? Holger
