| Abstract. ORIENT is a project to
develop an ontology engineering tool that integrates into existing
industry tooling environments -- the Eclipse platform and the WebSphere
Studio developing tools family. This paper describes how two important
issues are addressed during the project, namely tool integration and
scalability. We show how ORIENT morphs into the Eclipse platform and
achieves UI and data level integration with the Eclipse platform and
other modelling tools. We also describe how we implemented a scalable
RDF(S) storage, query, manipulation and inference mechanism on top of a
relational database. In particular, we report the empirical performance
of our RDF(S) closure inference algorithm on a DB2 database. |
