Description

FaCT++ is an OWL DL Reasoner implemented in C++. It is a tableaux-based reasoner for expressive Description Logics (DL). It covers OWL and OWL 2 (lacks support for key constraints and some datatypes) DL-based ontology languages. It can be used as a standalone DIG reasoner, or as a back-end reasoner for the OWL API-based application. Now it is used as one of the default reasoners in the Protégé OWL editor.
