R2ML

The REWERSE Rule Markup Language (R2ML) is developed by the [http://oxygen.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/rewerse-i1/ REWERSE Working Group I1] for the purpose of rules interchange between different systems and tools.

cope

* An XML based rule language;
* Support for: Integrity Rules, Derivation Rules, Production Rules and Reaction rules;
* Integrate functional languages (such as OCL) with Datalog languages (such as SWRL);
* Serialization and interchange of rules by specific software tools;
* Integrating rule reasoning with actual server side technologies;
* Deploying, publishing and communicating rules in a network.

Design principles

* Modeled using MDA;
* Rule concepts defined with the help of MOF/UML;
* Required to accommodate:
** Web naming concepts, such as URIs and XML namespaces;
** The ontological distinction between objects and data values;
** The datatype concepts of RDF and user-defined datatypes;
* Actions (following OMG PRR submission);
* Events;
* EBNF abstract syntax;
* XML based concrete syntax validated by an XML Schema;
* Allowing different semantics for rules.
