As Andy said this has been asked before on this list and others. I'm guessing this is an academic question? As such you need to research what SPARQL and rules are designed to do. When you understand that you can compare them. Whether one is faster than the other depends on the implementation. Are the rules are implemented using SPARQL or directly?

Is it fast (in terms of time) than jena rules to be executed by the engine? Second, in terms of expressiveness, how SPARQL is better than the rules? One point I think is jena rules does not support dis-junction while SPARQL does (UNION). , On Thu, Aug 24, 2017 at 2:07 PM, Andy Seaborne <a...@apache.org> wrote: > This has been asked before, most recently 2017-08-14. > > https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/ae4c1f5dfbacfb9bf4294a4 > cf2967e0c7050c81b20f80e6c425a9aa8@%3Cusers.jena.apache.org%3E > > Please search the archives before asking questions. > > Andy > > On 24/08/17 08:50, tina sani wrote: > >> What are some of advantages of SPARQL over (Jena) rules?
