<strong>An</strong> <strong>inference</strong> <strong>engine</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>RDF</strong><br />
I believe the Inference Web is a major and important step in the development of<br />
the Semantic Web. It has the potential of allowing a cooperation between<br />
different <strong>inference</strong> <strong>engine</strong>s. It can play an important part in establishing trust by<br />
giving explanations about results obtained with inferencing.<br />
3.3.4. Swish<br />
Swish is a software package that is intended to provide a framework <strong>for</strong> building<br />
programs in Haskell that per<strong>for</strong>m <strong>inference</strong> on <strong>RDF</strong> data [KLYNE]. Where<br />
<strong>RDF</strong>Engine uses resolution backtracking <strong>for</strong> comparing graphs, Swish uses a<br />
graph matching algorithm described in [CARROLL]. This algorithm is interesting<br />
because it represents an alternative general way, besides <strong>for</strong>wards and<br />
backwards reasoning, <strong>for</strong> building a <strong>RDF</strong> <strong>inference</strong> <strong>engine</strong>.<br />
