Oops - I hit "send" too quick there.

 

I was just looking at some retrospective stuff here from last year.

[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.
