Paul;  The best way to look at SPARQL is a query language over RDF
triples (more accurately graphs resulting from the combination of
these triples).  This all that SPARQL does  (SPARQL can return a set
of graphs using CONSTRUCT, which is a very powerful RDF tool, but this
should not be confused in any way with standard OWL or RDFS
inference.)

In OWL/RDFS, inferencing is performed by reasoners - engines that use
OWL and RDFS standard definitions to infer triples over defined
ontologies.  The result of reasoning is the union of asserted and
inferred triples.

And SPARQL is used to query any triples - whether asserted, inferred,
or the union of the two.

In terms of Semantic JSP, the <sparql> tag works on a set of triples.
What set of triples, whether inferences have been asserted, other
ontologies imported, etc. is all done outside of the JSP sparql
taglib.
