Implementing a Semantic Web Blackboard System Using Jena

Overview This paper discusses the need for a hybrid reasoning approach to handing Semantic Web data and explains why it believes that the Blackboard Architecture is particularly suitable. The authors describe how they have utilised it for combining ontological inference, rules and constraint based reasoning within a Semantic Web context. After describing the metaphor on which the Blackboard Architecture is based the authors introduce the key components of the architecture: the blackboard Panels containing the solution space facts and problem related goals and sub-goals; the differing behaviours of the associated Knowledge Sources and how they interact with the blackboard; and, finally, the Controller and how it manages and focuses the problem solving effort.
