[protege-discussion] sparql panel

[Tania Tudorache]

Jun,

Yes, you can query the inferred information in several ways. You can use 
the API, see:

http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/index.php/ProtegeReasonerAPI

The SPARQL implementation is not linked to the inferred information 
provided by a reasoner (e.g. Pellet). So, you will not be able to access 
the inferred information through SPARQL. Actually, there is one way, by 
using the internal representation used by Protege to store inferred 
information. So, for example, you can write a query:

SELECT ?subject ?object
WHERE { ?subject protege:inferredType ?object }

which will return all the inferred types of all individuals in your 
ontology. First, you will have to run a reasoner, like the built-in 
Pellet connection, or a DIG reasoner. But, I discourage this approach 
because we are going to change soon the internal representation of 
inferred knowledge and then this solution won't work anymore.

Please post in future OWL related questions on the OWL mailing list.
