[February 21, 2005] W3C Announces Workshop on Rule Languages for
Interoperability. Position papers are
due March 18, 2005 for the W3C Workshop on Rule Languages for
Interoperability, to be held April 27-28, 2005 in Washington, D.C.,
USA. Hosted by ILOG S.A. with support from DARPA through the DAML
program, this W3C Workshop is intended to "gather various participants
and inputs needed to see how a standard rule framework might be
developed, as informed by the Web Architecture and useful for
addressing real user challenges." The Workshop on Rule Languages for
Interoperability is open to the public and there will be no
participation fee. Interested participants should submit a position
paper on a topic within scope for the workshop, with focus upon the
requirements for the public representation and interchange of rules.
"Position papers discussing interchange formats are expected to focus
on the requirements and types of application covered by the proposal;
papers discussing specifications or rule interchange format are
expected to focus on that aspect and on how they could link to/import
rules represented in other existing or emerging formats; papers
discussing general issues regarding rules interchange and rule systems
interoperability are expected to focus on how relevant existing
standards or proposal or parts of an approach can be reused, evolved,
extended; on principles and architecture; on related efforts in other
communities (e.g., OMG, JCP, ISO, RuleML, SWSI, WSMO)." Accepted
papers will also be made available to the public from the workshop web
site. The Workshop CFP reports that rule languages and rule systems
"are widely used in applications ranging from database integration,
service provisioning, and business process management to loan
underwriting, privacy policies and Web services composition. General
purpose rule languages remain relatively unstandardized, however, and
rule systems from different suppliers are rarely interoperable." In the
W3C context, Semantic Web languages like RDF and OWL "are beginning to
support data/knowledge sharing on the same scale and with considerable
flexibility. Having a language for sharing rules is often seen as the
next step in promoting data exchange on the Web." The goal of the
Workshop on Rule Languages for Interoperability is to "gather and
refine use cases and requirements for a framework, together with
information about available technologies and relevant areas of practice
and research. [Full
