A Python toolkit for dealing with Petri nets over ontological graphs

We present theoretical rudiments of Petri nets over ontological graphs as well as the designed and implemented Python toolkit for dealing with such nets. In Petri nets over ontological graphs, the domain knowledge is enclosed in a form of ontologies. In this way, some valuable knowledge (especially in terms of semantic relations) can be added to model reasoning and control processes by means of Petri nets. In the implemented approach, ontological graphs are obtained from ontologies built in accordance with the OWL 2 Web Ontology Language. The implemented tool enables the users to define the structure and dynamics of Petri nets over ontological graphs.
