Over the past years, there has been a resurgence of Datalog-based systems in
the database community as well as in industry. In this context, it has been
recognized that to handle the complex knowl\-edge-based scenarios encountered
today, such as reasoning over large knowledge graphs, Datalog has to be
extended with features such as existential quantification. Yet, Datalog-based
reasoning in the presence of existential quantification is in general
undecidable. Many efforts have been made to define decidable fragments. Warded
Datalog+/- is a very promising one, as it captures PTIME complexity while
allowing ontological reasoning. Yet so far, no implementation of Warded
Datalog+/- was available. In this paper we present the Vadalog system, a
Datalog-based system for performing complex logic reasoning tasks, such as
those required in advanced knowledge graphs. The Vadalog system is Oxford's
contribution to the VADA research programme, a joint effort of the universities
of Oxford, Manchester and Edinburgh and around 20 industrial partners. As the
main contribution of this paper, we illustrate the first implementation of
Warded Datalog+/-, a high-performance Datalog+/- system utilizing an aggressive
termination control strategy. We also provide a comprehensive experimental
evaluation.
