The attached might be an ad, but I present it as a counterexample to
what I said earlier (to Jyoti). SWRL apparently lives!
[The words "academic spinoff" and "government-sponsored" may nonetheless
apply here as well. ;-)] (01)

Ed, (04)
Someone from the ontolog forum forwarded this to me recently, where
you said: (05)

I just wanted to point out that my company [1] is commercially
supporting and developing a SWRL implementation in Pellet, our OWL
reasoner, focusing on the DL Safe Rules subset. We're doing that
commercially, for both government and commercial clients. (07)
You might enjoy the recent series of weblog posts about our position
re: SWRL and DL Safe Rules on our weblog [2]. (08)
We're very active in the HCLS area, where interest in SWRL and DL Safe
Rules is very high. We've also been responsible for the OWLED [3]
workshops, where interest in SWRL in the context of OWL is always high. (09)
