title: SPIN Hack in GraphDB
body: <p>I have an ontology that I created in TopBraid that uses SPIN + OWL inference. I've been trying to figure out a way to decouple SPIN because most RDF graph database vendors still do not support the standard.</p>
  
  <p>The approach that I've come up with using GraphDB is to load my ontology into GraphDB and then execute each spin:rule present in my ontology as a SPARQL UPDATE/INSERT.</p>
  
  <p>First thing I'm trying to figure out if I can temporarily turn off the GraphDB reasoner while I make a set of SPARQL INSERTS/UPDATES and then turn on the reasoner thereafter.</p>
  
  <p>Secondly, although likely not recommended, would it be possible for the SPARQL INSERT/UPDATES to be added to the implicit graph and not the explicit graph?</p>
  
  <p>If someone has a better idea on how to do this do let me know.</p>
