Hi Bob, Hope all is well.
Quick question - where's the package fr.dyade.jdring from? I've finally got chance to started looking at drools+rdf, and it's come about in quite a nice way, because it's driven by a real application need. I've just started have a proper look at my app's vocabulary stuff, and basically I need a way of maintain sets of terms which (loosely) correspond to RDF resources and properties. From the RDF point of view, these terms are classes/instances taken from RDF Schema which define the characteristics and constraints of the terms. So one thing I need is a way of checking that terms obey their constraints - enter drools. I also need a way of picking out terms in a query kind of way, which I think will also be a task for drools. It's a bit confusing, because RDF(S) uses OO-like ideas such as subclass, but the semantics aren't the same as OO. I have been using the Jena RDF toolkit/API, which is very nice but because my app can't be completely tied to the RDF model, I'm having to look at these things as if Jena didn't exist. So today's task (I think) will be creating a set of Java classes that correspond to aspects of RDF, and trying to express the constraints in a drools-friendly fashion - which I suppose will end up as a semantic module. If and when I've got this sorted, I'll have a look at a drools+RDF module <-> Jena bridging.
