RIF Working Drafts published: Basic Logic Dialect and RDF and OWL Compatibility

The Rule Interchange Format Working Group has published the following documents: RIF Basic Logic Dialect and RIF RDF and OWL Compatibility. The Basic Logic Dialect specifies a basic format that allows logic rules to be exchanged between rule-based systems. Rules interchanged using the Rule Interchange Format RIF may depend on or be used in combination with RDF data and/or RDF Schema or OWL data models. RIF RDF and OWL Compatibility specifies compatibility of RIF with the Semantic Web languages RDF and RDFS; in the future the document will address OWL as well.
