ModTool allows ontology modules to be extracted from an ontology based on a user supplied concept.
ModTool was created by the University of Liverpool's Semantic Web Lab. More information on ModTool

RequirementsYou will need the following on the classpath to use ModTool:
Jena Pellet
Example public static void main(String args[]) {
//The concept you want to extract a module about.
String concept = "Concept URI"
parentModel = ModelFactory
.createOntologyModel(PelletReasonerFactory.THE_SPEC);
//The ontology the module will be extracted from
parentModel.read("Ontology URI");
//The OntologyModel that will contain the module.
moduleModel = ModelFactory
.createOntologyModel(PelletReasonerFactory.THE_SPEC);
moduleModel.createOntology(concept);
//Instantiate the class that does the extraction.
StmtBasedExtraction sbe = new StmtBasedExtraction(parentModel,
moduleModel, Exclusion.OWL_DL_EXCLUSION);
//Start the extraction.
sbe.start(parentModel.getResource(concept));
