Re: [OWLAPI-developer] executing SWRL rules - examples

[Marcello L. <le...@dt...>]

hi,

in the main page of the OWLAPI project there are some exmples and one  
of them is about SWRL rules construction.
If u want to apply the rules this is done by pellet reasoner by  
simply running the classify() method (by default Pelett processed  
SWRL rules, you have to set this option in the reasoner in order to  
skip SWRL rules).
Otherwise you need another Rule Engine such as Jess.
OWLAPI does not provide an engine fr running rules or making reasoning.
OWLAPI is a framework for writing, managing and reading owl  
ontologies and provides an interface to the reasoners. The reasoner  
itself does the reasoning and can apply rules.
so depending on the rule engine you decide to use there will be  
different procedures for running the rules.
Personally if you have simple rules use Pellet, otherwise I use Jess  
Rules, which is not free for commercial applications, if the rules  
are more complicated (pellet was bloody slow in some cases).
Pellet is intergated well with OWLAPI interface, jessrules is not  
integrated and then you need to convert owl into the propietary  
format of Jessrules, apply tehr ules and reconvert the final results  
in the ontology.

Soooo up to you.

Saluti, Marcello.
