I am looking for an approach to find two predicates (properties) of semantic web are equivalents or not? is that possible using description logic or another methods?

Thanks a lot

If I understand the question correctly, you can use OWLAPI method getEquivalentObjectProperties() of class OWLReasoner.

    The most elaborated approach is described in the paper "Optimising Ontology Classification" by Glimm, Horrocks, Motik and Stoilos. As far as I know this approach is only implemented in HermiT. All other reasoners just looking into the stated property hierarchy and search for cycles there. – Dmitry Tsarkov Jun 19 '17 at 11:52
