Namespace: VDS.RDF.Query.Inference
Assembly: dotNetRdf.Inferencing.dll
Syntax
public class StaticRdfsReasoner : IInferenceEngine
Remarks

Does basic RDFS inferencing using the schema taken from the Graph(s) which are provided in calls to the reasoners Initialise() method.

Types of inference performed are as follows:.

  • Class hierarchy reasoning - asserts additional types triples for anything that is typed as the subclass of a class.
  • Property hierarchy reasoning - asserts additional property triples for anything where the predicate is a subproperty of a defined property
  • Domain & Range reasoning - asserts additional type triples based on the domains and ranges of properties

Initialise(IGraph)

Imports any Class heirarchy information from the given Graph into the Reasoners Knowledge Base in order to initialise the Reasoner.

IGraph g

Graph to import from.
Remarks

Looks for Triples defining things to be classes and those defining that something is a subClass of something.
