Forwarding this Mail from the Stanbol Mailing list to clerezza dev as the question seems equally related to clerezza.
For the Jena based backend provider it should be quite straight forward to enable inference on particular (or all) graphs. But if ontologymanager provides a graph with all the inferences this could be registered with TcManager as to allow sparql queries over it. This latter approach would have the advantage of being independent of the storage used. Cheers, Reto PS: Glad to hear so!

Its concrete purpose is not important. Basically I... 1. create a new triple collection using the TC Manager from Clerezza: tcManager.createMGraph(graphName); 2. import an Ontology which contains the Schema.org ontology amongst others: OWLOntologyManager manager = OWLManager.createOWLOntologyManager(); OWLOntology ontology = manager.loadOntologyFromOntologyDocument(content); tripleCollection.addAll(OWLAPIToClerezzaConverter.owlOntologyToClerezzaMGraph((OWLOntology) ontology)); 3. import a whole bunch of RDF statements: Parser parser = Parser.getInstance(); Graph rdfData = parser.parse(inputStream, format); tripleCollection.addAll(rdfData); Up to this point everything works fine. However, I ran into an issue when I wanted to query that triple collection using types from Schema.org. For example I have some entity which is of type schema:Movie. My ontology states that schema:Movie is rfds:subClassOf schema:CreativeWork which in turn is rfds:subClassOf schema:Thing. However it seems, that not there's no automatic inference that schema:Movie is also a subclass of schema:Thing. I tried it using this query: PREFIX rdf:<http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> PREFIX rdfs:<http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> PREFIX schema:<http://schema.org/> SELECT ?type ?label { <http://example.org/SomeEntity> rdf:type ?type . ?type rdfs:subClassOf schema:Thing . ?type rdfs:label ?label . } ... and this method: tcManager.executeSparqlQuery( QueryParser.getInstance().parse(query), tripleCollection ); Before I started implementing my project in Stanbol I imported my ontology as well as all the RDF files into a Sesame repository. With that repository the query worked fine as Sesame automatically inferred that SomeEntity is of type schema:Thing. Is there any way to configure an inference like this for the triple store that's used by Clerezza (Jena I Think?) in this example? Best regards, Marvin Luchs PS: @Reto Bachmann-Gmür: Thanks a lot for your "Instant Apache Stanbol" E-Book! I already decided to implement my project independently of Stanbol, but your book came out just in time to change my mind :-)
