[Eulergui-user] [Announce] EulerGUI 1.7.1

[Jean-Marc V. <jea...@gm...>]

Happy new year!

Here is an excerpt of the Change Log :

FEATURES:

- library upgrades: Drools 5.1.1, Jena 2.6.4, ARQ 2.8.7, Pellet 2.2.2, Euler
2010-12-31
- Read an OWL/XML document; from a file XXX.xml XXX.owl, or from an URL;
  recognizes the root XML element (uses OWL API 3.1.0)
- when an OWL, RDF, XML, XMI file is modified on disk or Internet, it is
re-translated to N3
- when an N3 file is modified on disk or Internet, it is re-parsed, and
syntax errors are highlighted
- important errors trigger a self-vanishing red popup (no more relying on
the standard oputput)
- editor using http://prefix.cc for filling missing N3 prefixes when saving
N3 files
- Drools N3 engine :
  * Use Drools' insertLogical() feature for automatic retraction of
consequences no more holding,
  * implement e:max, e:min (with dynamic RDF lists coming from e:findall)
  * better handling of RDF lists, predicates list:in, math:memberCount
  * better translation of e:findall
  * fewer calls to the eval() macro of Drools,
  * implement add and multiply builtins with more than 2 operands
  * eg:trace works with variables created in an algebraic formula
  * Jos de Roo's owl-rules.n3 now passes Drools translator, e.g.
    { } => { ?X :p ?V }.
- new cache for compiled rule bases using OSCache
- new N3 - Java mapping, leverages on Drools to call Java methods in real
time from N3 rules; will replace the JavaScript+Java translator in most
places
- N3 conversions of plain XML documents (by Gloze) are cached
- Jena view of the result (second yellow button) : add N3 prefixes
- using TemporaryFrame instead of standard outuput: explanation of the OWL
inconsistency when calling Pellet reasoner, errors during inference
- view of the result as GraphViz graph
- enhance tooltips in N3 editor : now N3 terms like :xx or p:xx work also
- Internationalization: update: german, french; new: italian, portuguese,
romanian
- when an N3 data is deactivated, the triples are removed from
  the user KB; this demonstrates TMS in examples/domotic.n3p
- EulerGUI command line arguments : create a new project from multiple file
names or URL of N3 sources, Euler options; a complete Euler command line is
turned into an EulerGUI project
- before launching inference engine, expand Arguments entered in the input
field
- N3 Source Factory : if content Type equals "text/plain", then consider the
URI is N3

INNER workings:
- Refactoring: simplify ProjectGUI with more consistent MVC pattern, in
class Project (Olivier Rossel)

Many FIXES
