Abstract

This document, developed by the Rule Interchange Format (RIF) Working Group, specifies use cases and requirements for a format that allows rules to be translated between rule languages and thus transferred between rule systems.

The Phase 1 version of this document presents use cases for RIF in general, but requirements primarily for Phase 1. The Phase 1 deliverables will provide an extensible base with which the use cases can be addressed, but it will not be until Phase 2 that most of these use cases are directly addressed by the Working Group.
