Description

From nicole.l...@gmail.com on November 06, 2013 13:27:54

What steps will reproduce the problem?
If an entity ID has underscore(s) in it, it will not work in owlsim because it treats it like a delimiter between a name and idspace. Currently, IDs need to be pre-processed to change the underscores to something else (for example, dashes). This is really awkward.

Should underscores be permitted? I feel like they should be.

Perhaps ids can be loaded, and temporarily mapped to an identifier that is suitable for use in owlsim, but then the output can be generated using the original identifiers.

Research direction

Start by tracing how owlsim parses entity IDs during loading and how identifiers are used when generating output. Check whether the current delimiter handling is centralized or spread across the owlsim path. Done means entity IDs containing underscores work without preprocessing and output retains the original identifiers.
