For instance, with Stanbol Rules the administrator can define integrity checks
for data fetched from heterogeneous and external sources in order to prevent
unwanted formats or inconsistent data. Also, Stanbol Rules can be used to
derive new knowledge or integrate information from different semantically
enhanced contents.
Stanbol allows to provide rules to other component, i.e., Stanbol Reasoners,
or to third parties in three different formats.
- - __SWRL__ <a href="#swrl">[1]</a>. The Semantic Web Rule Language
(SWRL) is a rule language which combines OWL DL with the Unary/Binary Datalog
RuleML sublanguages of the Rule Markup Language and enables enables Horn-like
rules to be combined with an OWL knowledge base. Providing Stanbol Rules as
SWRL rules means that they can be interpreted in classical DL reasoning. That
allows, for inantace, to use Stanbol Rules with any of the OWL 2 reasoners
configured in the [Stanbol Reasoners component](reasoners.html).
- - __Jena Rules__ <a href="#jena">[2]</a>. It enables compatibility with
inference engines based on Jena inference and rule language. Internally, the
[Stanbol Reasoners component](reasoners.html) provides a reasoning profile
based on Jena inference.
- - __SPARQL__ <a href="#sparql">[3]</a>. SPARQL is a W3C recommendation
as a query language for RDF. A natural way to represent inference
transformation rule in SPARQL is by using the CONSTRUCT query form. For that
reason Stanbl Rules can be converted to SPARQL CONSTRUCTs and executed by any
SPARQL engine. Stanbol provides a particular SPARQL engine, namely the
[Refactor](rules/refactor.html) which is supposed to perform transformation of
RDF graphs based on certain transformation rules. The latter allows, for
instance, the vocabulary harmonization of RDF graphs retrieved from different
sources in Linked Data.
