Hi,<div><br></div><div>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: "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: -webkit-sans-serif; font-size: 16px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; ">time_limit_exceeded. Web service call failed". <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; ">I only used 10 Axioms, which is a small part of the total number I wan't to use for the final version. </span></span></div>
<div>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. </div>
<div>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?</div><div>
<br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Calin Bindea.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
