Rules and Rule Markup Languages for the Semantic Web
RuleML-2003
http://www.semanticwebrules.org
In conjunction with the
International Semantic Web Conference ISWC03
Sanibel Island, Florida, USA
20 October 2003
Workshop Description
====================
The Semantic Web is a major world-wide endeavour to advance the web by
enriching its content with propositional information that can be
processed by inference-enabled web applications. Rules and rule markup
languages, such as RuleML, will play an important role for the success
of the Semantic Web. Rules will act as a means to draw inferences, to
express constraints, to specify policies, to react to events/changes,
to transform data, etc. Rule markup languages will allow to enrich web
ontologies by adding definitions of derived concepts, to publish rules
on the web, to exchange rules between different systems and tools,
etc.
The workshop builds on the success of RuleML-2002, which was held in
conjunction with ISWC-2002, Sardinia, Italy. The proceedings of
RuleML-2002 are published at http://www.ceur-ws.org/Vol-60/ . The
proceedings of RuleML-2003 will be published with Springer-Verlag.
Topics of Interest
==================
We encourage submissions on all topics related to rules and rule
mark-up lanugages for the Semantic Web. In particular, the workshop
seeks papers addressing syntax and semantics of rule languages,
execution engines, implemented systems, and applications.
reaction rules for the Semantic Web
event/action languages
execution models
defeasible rules for the Semantic Web
defeasible concept definitions in ontologies
resolving conflicts in triggered action sets
tools and systems for rules on the Semantic Web
combining rules and ontologies
integrating rules and description logics
multiple language rules (Prolog, KIF, SQL, OCL, XML, RDF, etc.)
future application scenarios based on RDF, ontologies and rules
RuleML-based applications
deployment of rule-based applications on the Web
rule-based software agents and the Semantic Web
connecting rules to legacy knowledge bases
integrating rule bases and distributed fact bases
