Metalog

Metalog - towards the Semantic Web

Metalog is a next-generation reasoning system for the semantic web. Historically, Metalog has been the first system to introduce reasoning within the semantic web infrastructure, by adding the query/logical layer on top of RDF.

Metalog Design

The design of Metalog comes from the need of blending two necessities of the semantic web:

• The first one is reasoning, that is to say, the ability to reason, query, express logical relations. In other words, to do some "thinking" on the Web.
• The second one is to try to make the Semantic Web Easy, or at least to start this quest.

Therefore, Metalog has a double face: a powerful reasoning extension on one hand, and a very user-friendly interface on the other, which constitutes another possible level in the semantic web hierarchy: the so-called pseudo natural language (PNL) layer. The PNL makes much easier for everybody to understand the semantic web, without having to learn heavy geek-like formalisms.[more]

Metalog Downloads

The Metalog system is available both for Windows and for Linux platforms. A Macintosh porting is on the way. Check the download page for details and to get the latest Metalog distribution.
