Short for RuleMarkup Language
RuleML defines a shared Rule Markup Language, permitting both forward (bottom-up)
and backward (top-down) rules in XML for deduction,
rewriting, and further inferential-transformational tasks. It's considered to
be a markup language for the
Semantic Web. The RuleML Initiative represents a
collaborative research effort with a goal to develop RuleML as the Web language
for rules using XML markup and formal semantics.
The Rule Markup Initiative The initiative started during PRICAI 2000, as described in the Original RuleML Slide, and was launched in the Internet on 2000-11-10. Besides the previous XML-only RuleML and the current XML/RDF-combining RuleML, there is also an approach towards an RDF-only RuleML.
