[Pellet-users] Pellet and OWL 1.1

[Holger Knublauch]

Thanks, Mike.  Given this limitation, what is the most efficient (and 
complete) way to get all inferred triples out of Pellet?  We need that 
for the "Run inferences" button in our tool.  The current loop over all 
statements is very inefficient anyway because it also includes all 
asserted triples.  It's a good opportunity to optimize the Pellet 
integration.
