[Pellet-users] What are the differences in using the different interfaces (i.e. Pellet API, OWL API, Jena API) to a

[Koh Shu Lin]

Hi all,
 
I'm very new to PELLET. Currently I'm looking into the PELLET examples, and I've found that there are many ways that one can create an instance of a reasoner (i.e. using OWL API, Pellet API, JENA API). But what I'm interested is on Pellet, but not Jena. Can anyone explain to me what are the differences in the following statements in creating reasoners? And how do I decide when to use which APIs?
 
Thanks alot =)
 
 
 
Example 1 (Pellet API):
 
  ModelReader reader = new ModelReader();  Model model = reader.read( mindswappers );
  // load the model to the reasoner  OWLReasoner reasoner = new OWLReasoner();
 
Example 2 (OWL API):
 
  OWLOntologyManager manager = OWLManager.createOWLOntologyManager();  OWLDataFactory factory = manager.getOWLDataFactory();  OWLOntology ontology = manager.loadOntology( URI.create( mindswappers ) );
  Reasoner reasoner = new Reasoner( manager );
 
Example 3 (Jena API):
 
import com.hp.hpl.jena.reasoner.Reasoner;
 
Reasoner reasoner = PelletReasonerFactory.theInstance().create();
