Hello Everyone,

So just to wrap up this thread, and this information may be useful for
others...

When talking about creating an OWL-DL ontology editing application using
java code and an Ontology API to help do so we have:

Name
Link                                                           Desc
The OWL API                        http://owlapi.sourceforge.net/.
OO Style OWL-DL API
Jena                                     http://jena.sourceforge.net/

Jeremy you brought up the comment that Jena was designed more for analysis
type applications as opposed to ontology editing applications. From the
little that I have experimented (jena java code examples) I saw that Jena
could be a good candidate for use as an API for an ontology editing
application? I put a question mark because I would like your expert
elaboration on this please.

We also have a different option as brought up by Scott. Using TBC's API to
edit ontologies using SPARQLMotion and web services (interesting take).

We talked a little about how to integrate the reasoning services, into an
ontology editing application... Atanas mentioned DIG and also pointed out
how we could have "shallow" inferencing when using DIG. I did experiment and
read up on DIG and also agree that is not a good idea, furthermore; the
ontology editing application will reside on the same server as the reasoner
making less need for using DIG.... That being said what are your takes on
how to integrate reasoning services using java code and (new topic :) a
"Reasoning Services API".
If I remember correctly TBC uses DIG for pellet and other reasoners that we
may want to add, the new version of Protege stopped using DIG for reasoning
services the last time I looked.

I would like to thank everyone in advanced for your expertise and input,

Regards,
Ninus
