public class ForwardChainingRDFSInferencer
extends NotifyingSailWrapper

Forward-chaining RDF Schema inferencer, using the rules from the RDF Semantics Recommendation (10 February 2004). This inferencer can be used to add RDF Schema semantics to any Sail that returns InferencerConnections from their Sail.getConnection() method.

Description copied from interface: Sail

Opens a connection on the Sail which can be used to query and update data. Depending on how the implementation handles concurrent access, a call to this method might block when there is another open connection on this Sail.

Specified by:

getConnection in interface NotifyingSail

Specified by:

getConnection in interface Sail

Overrides:

getConnection in class NotifyingSailWrapper

Throws:

SailException - If no transaction could be started, for example because the Sail is not writable.

initialize

public void initialize()
                throws SailException

Adds axiom statements to the underlying Sail.

Specified by:

initialize in interface Sail

Overrides:

initialize in class SailWrapper

Throws:

SailException - If the Sail could not be initialized.
