Make inferences persistent
Inferred statements are shown in Composer using a light blue background.
For example, in the screenshot below the facts that
BackpackersDestination is a subclass of
Destination has been inferred (in blue).
If you want to have the system "remember" these inferences,
you have two options:
- In order to make the inference persistent in your model, click on the
downfacing triangle next to the inferred statement and select the
Assert inferred statement option.
- It is also possible to save and reload inference graphs (from the
Inference menu). This is particularly useful when the
re-calculation of inferences is time consuming - typically for large DL
ontologies. This approach does not modify the underlying model, but only
operates on the inference graph. The saved file can then be imported
into the main file to get the union of asserted plus inferred triples.
