Description

The goal of this project is allow the definition of SPARQL commands in Jena rules. Thus, we increase the expressiveness of Jena. Something look alike is spin-rules, where SPIN means SPARQL Inferencing Notation, a SPARQL-based rule [1][2]. However, the purpose is not to implement SPIN in Jena but provide Jena with the mechanisms to take the same expressiveness as the spin frameworks.

The main tasks of this project are:
1. Defining how a SPARQL command can be declared in a rule. This task encompass the discussion with the Jena community.
2. Provide Jena with the mechanisms defined in 1.
