Hello, I have not so much time, but i am volunteering on this if some one can point me to the 'dependency graph api'. And i needed some idea of code to work at home. this one is especially insterresting part (obviously the prolog one - Steve, if you can point me to the java-prolog library you know. the only one i know (and never used) is http://sourceforge.net/projects/amine-platform)
