[Attempto] RACE Web Service problem

[Calin Bindea]

Hi,
I want to use ACE, particularly the reasoner RACE, as a natural
language query interface to an ontology. The ontology was created using
Protege and I converted it to ACE with the help of the "Ace View" plugin.
Using the resulted ACE statements I would like to provide the user with
the possibility of issuing simple ACE language questions. I tried to test
using the RACE Web Service, but I keep getting an error:
"time_limit_exceeded. Web
service call failed". I only used 10 Axioms, which is a small part of the
total number I wan't to use for the final version.
I also tried running the "Pellet" reasoner on OWL data obtained by first
transforming to ACE, then adding the ACE query and then transforming again
to OWL XML with the help of APE, but I get an error because it apparently
can not transform ACE questions using "What" to OWL.
This project is part of my Bachelor degree assignment so I need to know as
soon as possible if this approach can be used. Is there any way of running
RACE locally? If not, how could I get around this problem?

Thanks,
Calin Bindea.
