The library is generic as it can be used on multiple ontologies/terminologies e.g. Gene Ontology, Medical Subject Headings, SNOMED CT, WordNet, or semantic graphs expressed in RDF Schema, Web Ontology Language, Open Biomedical Ontologies languages.
The interpretation of these triplets is (implicitly) based on the semantics of a simple Description logic (DL).
