OWLJessKB: A Semantic Web Reasoning ToolThis is the homepage of OWLJessKB. OWLJessKB is a description logic reasoner for the W3C's Ontology Web Language [1]. The semantics of the language is implemented using Jess, the Java Expert System Shell [2]. OWLJessKB is a successor to DAMLJessKB, the webpage for which is here. Reasoning on the DARPA Agent Markup Language is not supported in OWLJessKB; such projects should continue to use DAMLJessKB. Functionality Currently most of the common features of OWL lite, plus some and minus some. Documentation There are some very scant javadocs here. Please feel free to look at the source code and ask questions on the mailing list. Download The following downloads are available (in reverse chronological order). Archives are jar files. OWLJessKB works from inside the jar or can be extracted to retrieve source code.

Dependencies As noted above, OWLJessKB uses both the Jena and Jess libraries. Both are required in order to use OWLJessKB. We do not currently package these libraries with the OWLJessKB distribution in order to avoid licensing and installation issues. Both may be acquired from the following links. Note that OWLJessKB was developed using the stand-alone distribution of ARP2. It should be compatible with the version of ARP2 packaged with Jena2. OWLJessKB has not been extensively tested with ARP1's Java interface or parsed RDF model. It seems to work, but there are many constructs which ARP1 cannot parse. Jena - HP Lab's Semantic Web tools, including ARP and Jena. Jess - Java expert system shell; supported by Sandia National Laboratories Links
