	abstract = {<p class="rtejustify">OWL 2 EL is one of the tractable proles of the Web Ontology\&nbsp;Language (OWL) which is a W3C-recommended standard. OWL 2\&nbsp;EL provides sucient expressivity to model large biomedical ontologies\&nbsp;as well as streaming data such as trac, while at the same time allows\&nbsp;for ecient reasoning services. Existing reasoners for OWL 2 EL, however,\&nbsp;use only a single machine and are thus constrained by memory and\&nbsp;computational power. At the same time, the automated generation of\&nbsp;ontological information from streaming data and text can lead to very\&nbsp;large ontologies which can exceed the capacities of these reasoners. We\&nbsp;thus describe a distributed reasoning system that scales well using a cluster\&nbsp;of commodity machines. We also apply our system to a use case on\&nbsp;city trac data and show that it can handle volumes which cannot be\&nbsp;handled by current single machine reasoners.</p>
