Notable applications

Notable semantic reasoners and related software:

Free to use (closed source)

  • Cyc inference engine, a forward and backward chaining inference engine with numerous specialized modules for high-order logic.
  • KAON2 is an infrastructure for managing OWL-DL, SWRL, and F-Logic ontologies.

Free software (open source)

  • Cwm, a forward-chaining reasoner used for querying, checking, transforming and filtering information. Its core language is RDF, extended to include rules, and it uses RDF/XML or N3 serializations as required.
  • Drools, a forward-chaining inference-based rules engine which uses an enhanced implementation of the Rete algorithm.
  • Evrete, a forward-chaining Java rule engine that uses the Rete algorithm and is compliant with the Java Rule Engine API (JSR 94).
  • D3web, a platform for knowledge-based systems (expert systems).
  • Flora-2, an object-oriented, rule-based knowledge-representation and reasoning system.
  • Jena, an open-source semantic-web framework for Java which includes a number of different semantic-reasoning modules.
  • OWLSharp, a lightweight and friendly .NET library for realizing intelligent Semantic Web applications.
  • NRules a forward-chaining inference-based rules engine implemented in C# which uses an enhanced implementation of the Rete algorithm
  • Prova, a semantic-web rule engine which supports data integration via SPARQL queries and type systems (RDFS, OWL ontologies as type system).
  • DIP, Defeasible-Inference Platform (DIP) is an Web Ontology Language reasoner and Protégé desktop plugin for representing and reasoning with defeasible subsumption. It implements a Preferential entailment style of reasoning that reduces to "classical entailment" i.e., without the need to modify the underlying decision procedure.

Semantic Reasoner for Internet of Things (open-source)

S-LOR (Sensor-based Linked Open Rules) semantic reasoner S-LOR is under GNU GPLv3 license.

S-LOR (Sensor-based Linked Open Rules) is a rule-based reasoning engine and an approach for sharing and reusing interoperable rules to deduce meaningful knowledge from sensor measurements.
