TopBraid platform in general and, more specifically, TopBraid Composer offer
pluggable architecture. There are some instructions in TBC help on how to
create a plugin. If a third party software provider or, in fact, any user
wants to develop a plugin, we can offer additional instructions.

Currently, we are not aware of any DL reasoner providers offering a TopBraid
plugin and since, it seems, most (all?) are currently dormant projects, I
doubt there would be much change in the near future. Only a handful of DL
reasoners exists in the world mostly (only?) as academic research software.
I don¹t believe Pellet to be under active development/support anymore. Racer
is no longer offered commercially ­ there is an open source license. With
this, I am not sure you could buy a DL reasoner license even if you wanted
to. I do know that you could integrate one with TBC by building a plugin
yourself. This may take as little as a week for a Java developer. It might
be difficult to get questions answered in case of problems though - if the
software project is dormant.

Subject:  Re: [topbraid-users] TBC Reasoners

Thank you. It's not a matter of getting TQ to bundle commercial reasoners
with TBC: my question regards the availability of reasoners for TBC users,
paid or unpaid. Assuming that I purchase one such reasoner, how do I get it
to integrate with TBC? Are there any SROIQ-complete reasoners that integrate
nicely with TBC? I am thus hoping to get some answer from someone at TQ who
might know that, before i start contacting reasoner manufacturers one by one
to see if they also make TBC plugins for their reasoner. It looks to me that
getting an answer from TQ might be less time-consuming than contacting
reasoner developers in part.
