TBC is entirely based on Jena, so Jena seems to be a candidate for ontology editing applications :) > > We talked a little about how to integrate the reasoning services, > into an ontology editing application...

No, I strongly discourage using DIG, and TBC does not use DIG for Pellet integration. DIG has been left in TBC in case someone needs to interface with a reasoner that only has DIG support. Any approach that requires copying triples into another data structure is inefficient. Some engines, such as Jena Rules engine and SPIN directly operate on the natively stored RDF data, and thus may expose better performance, especially on large models.
