User's Guide to RacerPro 2.0 Preview

The user guide gives you an introduction to RacerPro, serves you with tipps for installation and deployment options, demonstrates the use of RacerPro as an inference server, provides an overview of available client applications, especially RacerPorter, how you work with knowledge bases as well as the built-in "nRQL" query language, and contains explanations with the help of various sample ontologies and knowledge bases.

Version 2.0 of the Users Guide has been improved to explain the interfaces for custom applications to use RacerPro as an back-end reasoning server. Java developers are assisted in their frist steps using the OWLAPI or our own function library called JRacer. The new Protégé plugin is also covered.

Comment:

This file is the draft version of the final users guide to RacerPro 2.0. It has been updated in several chapters to reflect the latest developments: e.g., it now provides step by step instructions for Java developers on how to connect custom applications to the RacerPro server and also covers the OWLAPI.
Please note that some of the features or example files mentioned in this draft version may not be integrated in the available Preview package.
The manual is provided for download in Adobe Acrobat portable document format (PDF). It may be updated anytime without notice.

Reference Manual

For the advanced user of RacerPro the reference manual offers a complete listing of knowledge base functions and declarations, of queries and for retrieval as well as an in-depth description of the API to nRQL. This documentation provides essential information to developers of RacerPro client software and to the experienced user of RacerPorter.

In Version 2.0 of RacerPro the Reference Manual is not provided as PDF any more, but all functions are documented 'online' by the server itself: If RacerPro is active you can load the documentation directly from the server by pointing your browser to http://localhost:8080/reference-toplevel.html.

Documentation for previous versions

RacerPro 1.9.2 BETA documentation

Both parts of the RacerPro documentation have been updated to cover the current BETA release. The material is available online for download as Adobe Acrobat "portable document format" files (PDF) even before you are a registered user (see below). The manuals are easy to browse with the help of an "active" table of contents, an index of keywords and cross references within the text itself. Hence you can follow the references with a click of the mouse.

The Release Notes are also available here for download. This file contains brief descriptions of features and functions introduced with the current version of the product.

We don't offer a printed set of manuals (no physical hard-copy).
