Reply to comment on 'WebPIE: A Web-scale parallel inference engine using MapReduce'

摘要

Thank you for having shared with us this letter. We are always keen to discuss any unclear points and any limitations of our work, and we thank Dr. Patel-Schneider for his letter. The letter that we received can be divided in two parts. The first part addresses points which, as the letter states, "can be overcome without changing the thrust of the paper". This leads us to a corrigendum with clarifications and bug fixes in the original paper. Although these are valuable improvements, none of these invalidate our approach or our evaluation. The second part of the letter addresses "the deep question whether the general approach in the paper can actually perform scalable RDFS materialization". By addressing the four points below, we conclude that fortunately the answer to this question is yes.
