Re: Implementing OWL2-RL with a RETE rule engine.

i have no specific use case at the moment.
i just try to understand which architecture is best suited for OWL2-RL.
at the moment, my knowledge is limited to forward chaining engines.
so i try to evaluate this option.

but any comment is very welcome.
