Title: An Approach to RIF Metamodel-centered Rule Interchange in the Semantic Web
Abstract: As a recommendation of the W3C(WWW Consortium),RIF(Rule Interchange Format) is dedicated to rule interchange between different rule languages and between different rule systems in the Semantic Web.Interchanging rules centered on RIF is an inevitable trend for the development of rule interchange.In the paper,we first define RIF metamodel and give a UML profile for RIF rules.And then,we construct RIA(Rule Interchange Architecture),a rule interchange architecture centered on RIF,which supports transformations between RIF and the main rule languages SWRL(Semantic Web Rule Language),RuleML(Rule Markup Language) and R2ML(REWERSE Rule Markup Language),and transformations between Abstract syntaxes and concrete syntaxes of the above four languages.In addition,we analyze the issue of information loss which is unavoidable in the process of rule interchange,and propose corresponding remedial measures.In the end,based on ATL(Atlas Transformation Language),we design and implement RIA 1.0 which is a prototype system of rule interchange.
