Talk:Semantic reasoner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have been reading the Internet Business Logic Web page and it seems that is an application that uses description logic for Bussiness Inteligence. As I see it, the system does use semantic reasoning, but it is not itself a semantic reasoner (probably the semantic reasoner is part of the system, but the system is not a reasoning engine). This article is about semantic reasoners, not applications that use them. IMHO it would be better to create another article or list of systems that use semantic reasoning. I would like to know what other editors think about it, so feel free to refute me :-) Vastag (talk) 18:40, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Including JENA as a "semantic reasoner" is very questionable---its documentation lists no less than seven different alternative plugins to provide some kind of inferencing support, but none of them are comparable to the "sound and complete" reasoners included in the remainder of this list. List "yes" on support for entailment testing or consistency checking is thus extremely dubious.

Frankly, the feature table on this page seems completely out of place (and the prior feature-by-feature breakdown of SWRL was particularly ridiculous). Perhaps a separate page comparing OWL or SWRL reasoners would be more appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.151.47 (talk) 16:58, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
