,
a
leading

technology
company,
announced
the
availability
of
BaseVISor
2.0
as

plugin
for
TopQuadrant's
TopBraid
Composer

today
at
the

Semantic
Technology
Conference
.
BaseVISor
is
a
powerful
semantic
inference
technology
that
enables
o
rganizations
to
implement
an
ontology
-
driven
approach
to
knowledge
representation
and
re
asoning.
BaseVISor
2.0
implements
the
W3C's
OWL
2
RL
standard.
BaseVISor
2.0
features
a
highly
efficient
forward
-
chaining
inference
engine,
optimized
for
ontological
and
rule
-
based
reasoning.
Rules
and
facts
are
c
ompiled
into
a
Rete
network
and
processed
with
respect
to
specified
ontologies
in
order
to
generate
all
new
infe
rable
facts.
In
comparison
with
other
leading
inference
engines,
BaseVISor
2.0
has
been
demonstrated
to
be
considerably
faster in
inference time
and que
ry time
on standard benchmarking
datasets
.
TopQuadrant's
TopBraid
Composer
is
a
professional
development
environment
for
W3C's
Semantic
Web
standards
RDF
Schema
,
the
OWL
Web
Ontology
Language,
the
SPARQL
Query
Language
and
the
Semantic
Web
Rule
Language
(
SWRL
).
Composer
also
can
be
used
as
a
run
-
time
environment
to
execute
rules, queries, reasoners and mash
-
ups
