Where are the Smarts?
An inference-based system for describing the meaning of Semantic Web constructs is elegant and useful in a distributed setting, but how does it help us make our data more useful? For our application to behave differently, we will need a new capability in our deployment architecture, something that will respond to queries based not only on the triples that have been asserted but also on the triples that can be inferred based on the rules of inference. This architecture is shown in Figure 6.1, and it is very similar to the RDF query architecture shown in Figure 4.4.
