Rolf,

Thank you for the feedback, it is much appreciated. If you have plans to translate SWRL rules to BLD and back, Mike Dean of BBN (mdean AT bbn.com) may be able to help, as he has looked at this and possibly already implemented such a translation (http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/Implementations/SWRL).
