Semantic Web technologies, and particularly ontologies, are important to formalize knowledge for computational design processes and to facilitate data interoperability. The Synthetic Biology Open Language has already emerged as a data standard and is based on RDF/XML. This language is ideal to represent information as graphs in which nodes and edges are defined using multiple properties. Terms from ontologies and controlled vocabularies are used to indicate the meaning of these multiple properties. Semantic representation of these nodes and edges would simplify both the representation of information and the querying of underlying information. Here, we present Tawny-SBOL as a domain specific language and a framework to address these issues. Tawny-SBOL is a proof-of-concept project, based on the Tawny-OWL ontology library, to specify genetic circuit designs. Users can query and potentially constrain these designs. As a result, designs can be evolved based on predefined requirements. Due to the native Clojure language support, users can extend Tawny-SBOL programmatically and work interactively.
