Abstract : Abstract. In this paper we describe Racer, which can be considered as a core inference engine for the semantic web. The Racer inference server offers two APIs that are already used by at least three different network clients, i.e., the ontology editor OilEd, the visualization tool RICE, and the ontology development environment Protege 2. The Racer server supports the standard DIG protocol via HTTP and a TCP based protocol with extensive query facilities. Racer currently supports the web ontology languages DAML+OIL, RDF, and OWL. 1,
