great news! can't wait to try it... a few questions: does it reuse the API of SOR? can we replace DB2 with (for example) a java based database? (useful in small-medium applications, in addition to java web start deployment). could you give brief details about the time to load/query a (not too trivial) ontology of (let's say) 1-10 million aboxes, with a few tricky tboxes.
