Combining an Inference Engine with Databases: A Rule Server

  • Conference paper
Rules and Rule Markup Languages for the Semantic Web (RuleML 2003)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 2876))

Abstract

Complex Semantic Web applications require easy-to-use tools for data and rule storage along with query mechanisms. We describe a prototype server software RLS which is used similarly to the ordinary usage of SQL RDBMS software in application programming. The server combines first-order theorem provers with several query and rule language layers for application development in the Semantic Web context.
