Semantic Web FAQ. The term “rules” in the context of the Semantic Web refers to elements of logic programming and rule based systems bound to Semantic Web data. Rules offer a way to express, for example, constraints on the relationships defined by by RDF, or may be used to discover new, implicit relationships. Various rule systems (production rules, Prolog-like systems, etc) are very different from one another, and it is not possible to define one rule language to encompass them all. However, it is possible to define a “core” that is essentially understood by all rule systems. This core is based on restricted kind of rule, called a “Horn” rule, which (like most rules) has the form “if conditions then consequence”, but it places certain restrictions on the kinds of conditions and consequences that can be used.
A general example may help. While integrating data coming from different sources, the data may include references to persons, their name, homepage, email addresses, etc. Graphviz - Graph Visualization Software. IsaViz Overview. News IsaViz and Java 1.6 (2007-10-21) IsaViz 2.x is not compatible with Java 1.6 or later. It is recommended to download IsaViz 3.0 which does work with any version of Java. An alpha release is available (see Download section), which should be as stable as IsaViz 2.1 except for the new, still under development, Fresnel and FSL features. IsaViz and GraphViz (2007-05-23) IsaViz 2.x is not compatible with GraphViz 2.10 or later. It is thus recommended to use GraphViz 2.8 or earlier with IsaViz 2.x. Several bugs have been fixed in the FSL engines for Jena, Sesame and the visual FSL debugger embedded in IsaViz. Fresnel in IsaViz (2006-05-19) IsaViz 3.0 now supports Fresnel lenses and several elements of the Core Format Vocabulary.
