Semantic web technologies have developed significantly in the recent years [2]. The web ontology language standard
OWL 2 along with tools for editing knowledge bases, reasoning engines such as HermiT / Pellet / Fact++,
visualization tools such as OntoGraf / OWLViz, tools such as SPARQL and DL query engines [Glimm, 2018], Apache
Jena to interface queries with knowledge bases [1], explanation workbenches, SWRL that helps in rule-based
construction of axioms [5], and OWL API for programming have brought this technology to application maturity in
several domains.
Liquids and glasses are isotropic ie., they have infinite symmetry [8]. The material looks the same in all the
directions. So the physical property should also remain the same in all directions. The tensor representing the
physical property of this material should be isotropic [1]. That is, any arbitrary transformation of the co-ordinate
system should leave the matrix containing the values of physical property unchanged [6]. It is possible only if the
property is representable by an isotropic tensor of corresponding order [3, 4, 5]. Thus, for second order tensors such
as thermal conductivity, diffusivity etc., of liquids only one value is necessary [1].
