[ANN] HermiT 1.3.6 OWL Reasoner

We are happy to announce the release of the new HermiT 1.3.6 OWL Reasoner http://www.hermit-reasoner.com/.

HermiT is a free and open source reasoner for ontologies written using the Web Ontology Language (OWL) [1], developed by the University of Oxford. Given an OWL ontology, HermiT can determine whether the ontology is consistent, build hierarchical relationship among classes, and much more. It is based on Java and can be used under the OWL API [2], Protege [3], or a command line interface.

The new release contains improved property instances management and SWRL rule clausification, and several bug fixes. It is available from HermiT's homepage or download page [4].

The HermiT users' discussion group [5] is available for further discussion, questions and comments, and the HermiT issue tracker [6] is available for bug reports.
