Changelog
| Version | Changes in this version |
|---|---|
| SWRL-IQ 1.1b | Now works with Protege 3.5 beta. |
| SWRL-IQ 1.1 | The Reload KB check box is gone. SWRL-IQ now reloads the KB only when needed, and only re-loads the changed bits of the KB, which is much faster. |
| SWRL-IQ 1.0 | Initial release |
Description
SWRL-IQ has a number of features that distinguishes it from other query and reasoning tools, such as the Protege SQWRLQueryTab supported by the Jess rule engine:
- Goal-oriented backward-chaining Prolog-style reasoning (as opposed to the forward-chaining paradigm used by Jess and the Protege SWRL Bridge framework).
- Constraint-solving based on CLP(R) (Constraint Logic Programming with Reals). This allows for more declarative and powerful rules and queries.
- Saving query results to XML or CSV format.
- Tracing and debugging inference results.
- Exporting query results in different formats.
- No dependency on proprietary or closed-source components. Uses XSB Prolog, which is freely available under the LGPL license.
SWRL-IQ also has powerful SWRL extensions and a Java procedural attachment mechanism, similar to what the Jess query tab supports.
