How can I import .OWL file into Neo4J?

Question

I have been playing with Neo4J to get a feel on how easy it is to work with related data. so far I have work with the Neo4J community browser to create nodes and build relationship between them.

I have developed an ontology using protege a link!. Now, that I have a huge ontology file(.owl file). I would like to upload it to Neo4J to perform queries and find potential relationships between nodes.

I would be glad if I get any help on this.

Thanks.

What is the exact format of your file, and how do you want to model the data in the graph? – Triptolemus

Its in ".owl" format. I would like to view the ontological model in terms of nodes and relationship between them. – Amphibious

Exact, i.e. I want to see the format definition and a sample. – Triptolemus

Michael, provide me your email. I will mail you a sample? – Amphibious

Have you seen the blog post by Stefanie Wiegand?

There are also some other users on the Neo4j Google Group who work in ontologies / OWL, perhaps good to cross post there?

There are some more approaches:

Thanks for responding Michael. I have been reviewing those links lately. Given, I have less programming experience I am unable to catch up with the blog resources. Would it be possible for you to direct me to a source providing explanation with some screen shots. I am ready to learn an extra bit. Also, I will cross post this on the Neo4J google group. – Amphibious

I don't know if it's the exact same link, but the first one posted now leads to a 404 - I've done a quick google, and this may be the new-location of that earlier blog: neo4j.com/blog/using-owl-with-neo4j – Ogata
