<- I mean based on reasoning from the triples themselves -- this is

So the inference mechanism would be centralised? If so then I suppose the
problem here boils down to propagating the updates in a way that maintains
the transaction idea. The effects that (potentially) lead to infinite loops
could be a devil to calm (a distributed inference system could cause the
same problems) - though as you seem to be swuggesting, one step at a time...

BTW, were you thinking of hacking the inference mechanism together or using
an existing tool/shell (e.g. Jess)?

Cheers,
Danny.
