This was news to me...

FuXi - 4RDF (N3/Versa) Reasoner

DanC: "FuXi (pronounced foo-see) is a forward-chaining, rule-based
system that expands 4RDF to include reasoning capabilities via
interpretation of explicit implications expressed in Notation 3 ..."
DanC: "Fuxi depends on Pychinko, rdflib, and CWM (just the 1.82 tarball
is sufficient and suggested). Pychinko's interpreter only uses CWM for
it's N3 log/math/os function implementations."

ah... it's relatively new:
      [      a :Project;
             :created "2005-05-29";

Here's the whole DOAP description, in N3...
Odd... it doesn't give a URI for the project.

FuXi (pronounced foo-see) is a forward-chaining, rule-based system that
expands 4RDF to include reasoning
capabilities via interpretation of explicit implications writen in
Notation 3 and persisted in the Model
under a named sub graph (scope).  Fuxi uses Pychinko to match and fire
the specified rules.
It also includes a Versa function that allows Versa query expressions to
be executed
within a model (scoped or not) extended to include statements inferred
by rules in a particular scope.
