Dear Mauricio and Anton and others, thanks again for your interest. The work-in-progress code can be found here: https://github.com/droolsjbpm/drools-chance/tree/master/drools-shapes Unfortunately, there's no documentation yet, but we can work through the code. If you are interested in contributing, you can follow the standard "enrollment" procedure (it should be in the official documentation), fork the code and start submitting pull requests (see the README on github). You can then talk to me on IRC, skype (davide.sottara) or mail (dsotty(a)gmail.com) to discuss how/what to do. On IRC you'll also find Mark Proctor, who is eager to work and provide guidance. For sure, we have lots to do and even more ideas boiling in our minds :) Best Davide -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/rules-users-Using-an-OWL-Ontology-in-dr...

Hi Anton, I'm (un)officially in charge of the topic. Right now I have identified the following topics/tasks, feel free to ask for more details on any one of them: 1) Use the ontology to create a fact model to write rules with : I'm perfecting the tool even now, in a few days the alpha version will be available for testing. It's meant to be pretty flexible, support many persistency techniques, provide convenience methods and will be integrated with the recent "traiting" (dynamic typing) technique. It makes some (reasonable) assumptions on the ontology, and would need use cases and consolidations. 1b) Once the fact model is there, we'd have to instantiate the individuals in the ontology as facts 1c) We have a side project to make this compatible with guvnor, to edit "semantically constrained" rules. 2) Use the definitions in the ontology to create classification rules. Would be "rule-style", in close world assumptions. My feeling is that it would create an execution framework for a SPIN-like language (or, if you prefer, a DRL version of the SPIN framework). I haven't started it yet, but could be done in a relatively few days 3) Use the definitions in the ontology to create a rule-based, object-oriented semantic reasoner. A proof of concept for a fuzzy semantic reasoner exists, but that definitely is on the TODO list. Help, as always, is appreciated :) This would be a necessary complement to the fact model, to ensure it's kept consistent with the ontology. -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/rules-users-Using-an-OWL-Ontology-in-dr...
