[Apologies for cross posting] Dear All, We are pleased to announce the first release candidate for Pellet 2.0, which you can download from http://pellet.owldl.com/download/ This release candidate comes with many performance improvements and features added after the last public release. The command-line interface has been revised completely and enhanced with many new options. Licensing terms for Pellet have also changed. Pellet is now available under dual licensing whereby use of Pellet in projects that are licensed so as to be compatible with AGPL Version 3 may use Pellet under the terms of that license. However, if AGPL Version 3.0 terms are incompatible with your use of Pellet, alternative license terms are available from Clark & Parsia LLC. See [1] for more details about licensing. A complete list of changes since the last version is described in the change log [2] that comes with the Pellet distribution. The major changes in this release are: * MODIFIED: Licensing conditions changed * ADDED: OWL2 support * ADDED: Optimized OWL2-EL classifier * ADDED: Ontology module extractor * ADDED: Incremental classifier * ADDED: SPARQL-DL support * ENHANCED: SWRL support * ENHANCED: Explanation generation * ADDED: Pellint integration * ENHANCED: Fine-grained inference extraction * ENHANCED: Command line interface (CLI) * ADDED: Compute transitivity hierarchy * ENHANCED: Reasoning performance * ENHANCED: Memory usage * ADDED: Annotation support * ENHANCED: Interrupting reasoning process with user-defined timeouts * REMOVED: Species validator In addition to these major changes various bugs have been fixed.
