Rule Languages For Interoperability

ILOG's position on Rule Languages for Interoperability

The most noticeable characteristic of executable business rules is that their execution results necessarily in executing some actions: specifically, the actions that are required to enforce the underlying business policy (or non-executable business rule). From an inference point of view, the true assertion that is inferred from a business rule is thus always that some specific actions must be e...

Position Paper on Rule Languages for Interoperability

Position Over the last few years, the researchers and practitioners have realized the clear need for rule bases to be distributed and interoperable over the web to realize their true potential. It is our position that, in order for this to happen there needs to be efforts in several different fronts simultaneously. This document lists some high level requirements in several of the areas that we...

Business Rule Standards -- Interoperability and Portability

Figure 1: Example insurance scenario Consider a commercial Web site for an insurance company (Figure 1). The web site surfaces Web pages that allow customers, agents, employees and partners to interact with applications. The site also exposes a Web service interface using WSDL [WSDL] to document interfaces and a WS-Interoperability [WSI] binding for access from partner systems. This scenario in...

NIST "Position Paper" for the W3C Workshop on Rule Languages for Interoperability

It is useful for many applications to ensure that ontologies can be successfully processed by reasoners. There are two ways to do this: • disablement -allow in the language only those constructs that can be processed by a class of reasoner • marking -allow many useful constructs in the language, with some kind of syntactic provision that enables a tool to recognize which constructs require whic...
