I interpreted this request as more of typical ettiquette, along the lines of "I've been using the system that you built, and have benefited from the research and work that you've done. How would you prefer to be cited?" Much in the way that, were I to cite this email thread, I'd ask, "Mr. Jordan, when I cite mailing list posts, do you prefer D. Jordan or David Jordan, or perhaps something else?" This can be especially important in computer-science related fields where many conference proceedings articles are freely available, but the better journal version is behind a paywall; it's nice to give the authors a chance to say "Cite the journal verison, please! Here's an offprint that you can look at!" At any rate, I don't know what citations the Jena developers prefer to be used, but one might be: Jena: Jena: Implementing the Semantic Web Recommendations http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2003/HPL-2003-146.pdf (notice that this is a techreport, but the developers might know that it was published in a conference or journal, and the appropriate citation therefor) > > > On Aug 13, 2013, at 11:44 PM, Bahador(reza)?
