Syntax
public class SimpleN3RulesReasoner : IInferenceEngine
Remarks

This reasoner should be initialised with a Graph that contains simple N3 rules such as the following: 

{ ?x a ?type } => { ?type a rdfs:Class }.

When initialised the reasoner takes account of variables declared with @forAll and @forSome directives though no guarantees that scoping will be correct if you've got multiple @forAll and @forSome directives.

When the reasoner is applied to a Graph rules are implemented by generating a SPARQL Update INSERT command like the following and executing it on the given Graph. 

INSERT
{
  ?type a rdfs:Class .
}
WHERE
{
  ?x a ?type .
}
