Using SPARQL you can easily write out the most common rules. http://spinrdf.org/ My guess is that small devices will have more problems parsing and downloading large files than reasoning. I think more important is to get applications to use data. Then it will soon become clear as these applications grow, what data is useful to place at a location. Just as the web browser helped simpify choices of what needed to be published, so something like interacting foaf+ssl endpoints will end up making clear what it is best to publish, and what is best left for inferencing. So I'd say write apps that are viral and that consume the data. Then it will be clear what to publish, and also what reasoning is useful. Henry
