Will WBC do reasoning?

[Stephen Larson]

Hi,

We received a question recently about whether the Whole Brain
Catalog will do reasoning. We take this to be asking if the Whole
Brain Catalog will do formal inference and reasoning of the type
afforded by tools using the Web Ontology Language (OWL). At the
moment, the Whole Brain Catalog is not making use of this kind of
reasoning, but work that is going on in closely related projects such
as the Neuroscience Information Framework are doing so. Eventually as
the Whole Brain Catalog matures, we'll be able to take advantage of
these facilities.

Thanks,
Stephen
