.. _New_ImportOntologyFromRDFSOWLFile:

New > Import SHACL Ontology from RDFS/OWL File
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This feature is available from the global :ref:`NewButton` and can be used to create Ontology
asset collections from an RDF Schema or OWL file.
You will be asked to upload a file which is then converted to SHACL.
For example, owl:minCardinality restrictions are mapped to sh:minCount constraints.

Use this feature as a quick start if you are coming from tools such as Protege.
