<p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt;">Dear colleagues,</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt;">we are glad to announce the release of Cowl v. 0.2.0, a lightweight C API for working with OWL 2 ontologies, developed by SisInf Lab at the Polytechnic University of Bari, and distributed under the Eclipse Public License
(EPL) v. 2.0.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt;"> </p>

<p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt;">Cowl is a complete implementation of the OWL 2 specification. As of now, it allows parsing OWL 2 ontologies and querying them for axioms and other constructs.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt;">Cowl is designed to be lightweight and portable, so:</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt;">- it is written in standard C11 with no compiler-specific extensions and no platform-specific API calls;</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt;">- it is completely self-contained, with no external dependencies other than Vector(T) and uHash (which are also self-contained);</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt;">- it strives to have a tiny memory footprint while being very fast, meaning it can run even on very resource-constrained devices.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt;">Please help us understand your needs by answering this anonymous survey:
