Introduction

OO jDREW, the Object Oriented Java Deductive Reasoning Engine for the Web is the reference implementation of the (Naf Hornlog) RuleML Web rule language. It is an Object Oriented extension to jDREW. The Object Oriented extensions for RuleML implemented by OO jDREW include:

  • Order Sorted Types
  • Slots
  • Object Identifiers
OO jDREW is written in the Java programming language.

OO jDREW GitHub

OO jDREW has been moved to GitHub by Markus Zucker and Christian Fabbricatore, where it has been developed from OO jDREW Version 0.961 to OO jDREW Version 1.0 and prepared for further development in a Social Coding community drawing on Web 2.0 methods. Instead of the earlier SourceForge version of OO jDREW, GitHub has thus become the place to get the newest OO jDREW and contribute to it: https://github.com/OOjDREW

Modes of Execution

  • Bottom-Up

    Bottom-up execution is used to infer all derivable knowledge from a set of clauses (forward reasoning).

  • Top-Down

    Top-down execution is used to solve a query on the knowledge base (backward reasoning)

Supported Languages

  • POSL

    POSL is a Positional Slotted Language that implements RuleML shorthand (positional part similar to Prolog).

  • RuleML

    OO jDREW supports the XML syntax of RuleML.
