Hello all,

I am a new user. I need to generate all possible derivations for a statement 
inferred via backward chaining. Based on what I understand from the 
documentation and a small test case I wrote, it appears that Jena outputs only 
one derivation (and possibly stops inference as soon as the target statement is 
inferred). Is this true?

Correct. Once Jena has an answer to the query it stops. It will record the derivation trace for that answer but will not check alternative derivations.

[After all there can be a *very* large number of possible traces through the derivation graph.]

Are there other toolkits that support multiple derivations?

Don't know.
