Jena has both forward and backward chaining rules. I have no idea how they compare in performance, but, for most things they should be reasonably comparable. My *guess* is that Jess is better integrated with Java. > That makes OWL-S fantastic rather than solely simulating, and better > than BPEL in executing *rules*. Uh... The OWL-S VM is *implemented* as a collection of Jess rules. I don't know, off hand, if it *integrates* with Jess rules. OWL-S 1.0 allows the use of fairly expressive languages (DRS, KIF) in the preconditions and effects, but good luck finding a reasoner for them :) (Well, Drew might have a DRS reasoner...Drew?) Cheers, Bijan Parsia.
