+1. Introduction
+---------------
+
+FaCT++ is re-implementation of the well-known FaCT Description Logic (DL) 
+Reasoner. This reasoner currently supports the SROIQ(D) description Logic
+language, which corresponds to OWL DL ontology language standard.
+The current version is 1.1.6. This is source distribution package so it can
+be used on different platforms. It was tested on Windows, Linux and MacOS X.
+
+FaCT++ is distributed under GNU Public License (GPL). Full text of license
+can be found at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt. Libraries that are 
+provided by the FaCT++ are distributed under the GNU Lesser Public License
+(LGPL).

+3. Installation
+---------------
+
+3.1 Building system from sources
+--------------------------------
+
+For building system you will need GNU c++ compiler and GNU make (version 3.3
+and higher were tested). Change GENERAL_DEFINES macro in src/Makefile.include
+to make it suitable for your computer. Then just run "make".
+
+In order to compile DIG part you will also need an XML parsing library
+Xerces-c (freely avaliable at http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/). Make sure
+that Xerces-c package is installed system-wide or you have environment
+variable XERCESCROOT which points to Xerces-c root directory.
+
+In order to compile OWL-API interface (src/FaCTPlusPlusJNI/) it is necessary
+to have JNI development files (jni.h) available.
+
+4. Usage
+--------
+
+4.1 Standalone FaCT++ with lisp-like interface
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Models.lisp directory of this distribution contains some files that
+support FaCT++ reasoning as well as examples of KBs.
+
+To use standalone reasoner user should usually perform the following steps:
+- create an ontology using the FaCT++ input language
+- create a working directory (i.e. TEST) for FaCT++ using the command
+        create-new-test TEST ontology
+  where "ontology" is the name of the file containing your FaCT++ ontology
+- inside TEST directory run
+        make
+        
+This will run FaCT++ reasoner on the newly created config-file for the
+given ontology. The results of FaCT++'s reasoning appear in following files:
+
+- Taxonomy.Roles contains information about the roles taxonomy;
+- Taxonomy.log contains information about the concept taxonomy (if it was requested);
+- dl.res contains full information about the ontology and some statistical 
+  information about the reasoning process;
+
+4.1.1 Ontology creation
+-----------------------
+
+There are three ways of creating an ontology for FaCT++
+
+- Hand-made ontology. This way is not recommended for the end user.
+- Using OilEd (http://oiled.man.ac.uk). Load an ontology to the OilEd
+  then choose Export|FaCT++ lisp.
+- From the OWL source using the OWL Ontology Converter 
+  (http://phoebus.cs.man.ac.uk:9999/OWL/Converter). Set the ontology URL to
+  the OWL ontology, choose FaCT++ as the output language, press Convert and then
+  copy the resulting ontology text to the FaCT++ ontology file.
+
+4.1.2 Reasoning process
+-----------------------
+
+There are a number of options that could influence the reasoning process. All 
+options, their format and description are given in the config file, which is
+generated by the create-new-test script.
+
+4.2 FaCT++ as an HTTP DIG reasoner
+----------------------------------
+
+Run FaCT++.Server with optional parameter "-port <port>". Default value of
+<port> is 3490.
+
+This reasoner will avaliable at http://<host>:<port>, where <host> is
+a name of a computer running FaCT++.Server.
+
+4.3 FaCT++ as an HTTP OWL reasoner
+---------------------------------
+
+Use FaCT++ as describe in section 4.2. Then connect your OWL editor like
+Protege (http://protege.stanford.edu/) to the FaCT++ using address 
+http://<host>:<port>
+
+5. Known problems
+-----------------

+6. Contact information

+(tsarkov@cs.man.ac.uk).  Any questions, suggestions or bug reports are
+welcome!
