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. -- Scott On Nov 17, 7:30 pm, Paul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > I am new to Semantic Web using TBC.
