copied!<p>I did not really use it in a production environment either, but I integrated it into the Java/Eclipse based <a href="http://www.bioclipse.net" rel="noreferrer">Bioclipse workbench</a>, to be used in real-world scenarios, as part of my thesis work. Also, the thesis work focused much on testing the performance and usability of the prolog integration in Bioclipse.</p> <p>I will give short answers to the questions you asked below, but for anyone interested, the most information can be found in my thesis report named <a href="http://www.ibg.uu.se/upload/2010-07-05_180748_062/Samuel_L.pdf" rel="noreferrer">"SWI-Prolog as a Semantic Web Tool for semantic querying in Bioclipse: Integration and performance benchmarking"</a>, as well as in my relevantly tagged <a href="http://saml.rilspace.org/tags/swi-prolog" rel="noreferrer">blog posts</a>. The source code is available in a <a href="http://github.com/samuell/bioclipse.swipl" rel="noreferrer">github repo</a>.</p> <p><strong>How did you integrate with a programming language like Java?</strong></p> <p>I used the the <a href="http://www.swi-prolog.org/packages/jpl/java_api/index.html" rel="noreferrer">JPL Java Prolog interface</a></p> <p><strong>What did you use prolog libraries for (in context of semantic web)?</strong></p> <p>I used it to do some pattern matching against an RDF database of some 60000 NMR spectra, containing peaks of distinct heights. I used this to test the performance of SWI-Prolog for this operation, compared to other Semantic Web tools such as Pellet and Jena (Java based). (BTW, SWI-Prolog by far outperformed both of these tools).</p> <p><strong>What development environment was used?</strong></p> <p>Eclipse RCP</p> <p><strong>I really like the idea of using swi prolog but will steer away from it, if it affects productivity.</strong></p> <p>My experience is that in addition to increased productivity for certain problems, the performance for certain operations is also far better than tools written in conventional programming languages.</p>
