Thank you, Dave. Is there any way to incorporate Pellet into Jena library as an 
external reasoner?
Thank you so much.
Regards, Neli.

Please be cautious: **External Email**

There's not a lot details there to go on.

As a general principle Pellet is a complete DL reasoner whereas the jena
OWL rules are much more limited. If you want complete and performant DL
inference then use a proper DL reasoner. In simple cases the jena rules
can give useful results in reasonable time and they serve a useful
purpose in many settings. However, for hard cases they can easily fall
into exponential behaviour. Even just equality reasoning can be
problematic. Ontology size it not itself an indication of reasoning
complexity.
