Hi,
I'm considering a number of options in trying to architect a distributed system in line with the semantic web's ambitions.
I haven't yet given a try to ciao prolog, but I would like to know a number of things before I get into more details.
First: I have read that prolog systems are generally backward-chaining systems. I would like to do forward-chaining so I can deal with notification of particular events to the users.
Second: The user contributed libraries mention a utility to convert Prolog to SQL... Does that cover triggers ? :-) that would be too easy, wouldn't it ? More seriously, what does it cover ? It just sounds like magic !
Finally: what kind of persistence does ciao prolog allow for ? In regard to XSB for example. I'm concerned about the convenience of writing triggered code to write things down to a database or an EJB,... Is such a thing possible ?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my naive questions,
