Jena 2 [1], which was released late last week, includes a general purpose rule engine [2], which supports RETE-based forward chaining, LP-based backward chaining with tabling, hybrid reasoning, a binary datalog rule language, an ASCII syntax, an initial set of builtin procedural primitives, and validation. Given the widespread use of Jena 1 within the Semantic Web community, I think this will get a lot of exposure. It seems roughly compatible with our current discussions. I believe the primary developer of the rule engine and other inference support in Jena 2 is Dave Reynolds of HP Labs Bristol.
