Specification of RuleML

The open standards effort of the organization RuleML Inc. connects Web-rule efforts across academia, standards bodies, and industry, and dovetails with Web-ontology efforts as part of the semantic-technology stack. The resulting Web-rule Specification of RuleML constitutes a system for Web knowledge representation that provides bridges between, e.g., RIF, SWRL, SWSL, TPTP, Common Logic, and LegalRuleML. The specification is organized into three families, Deliberation RuleML Version 1.02, Consumer RuleML Version 1.02, and Reaction RuleML Version 1.02, as well as one family branch, Deliberation PSOA RuleML Version 1.03.

7.3 XSD Older Versions

7.3.1 XSD : Older Deliberation RuleML

From version 0.8 to 1.0, the specification of (Deliberation) RuleML was provided by normative XSD schemas.

• http://deliberation.ruleml.org/1.01/xsd
• http://ruleml.org/1.0/xsd
• http://ruleml.org/0.91/xsd
• http://ruleml.org/0.90/xsd
• http://ruleml.org/0.89/xsd
• http://ruleml.org/0.88/xsd
• http://ruleml.org/0/87/xsd
• http://ruleml.org/0.86/xsd
• http://ruleml.org/0.85/xsd
• http://ruleml.org/0.8/xsd

The Version 1.0 release was a "Rosetta" release, where a Relax NG schema was also provided.

In Deliberation RuleML, starting with Version 1.01 (as in Consumer RuleML, starting with Verions 1.02), the Relax NG schema is normative while the informative XSD schemas are (auto-)generated for some sublanguages, called anchor languages (the release status of these XSDs is shown, e.g., in Development Versions and Current Versions):

• http://deliberation.ruleml.org/1.03/xsd
• http://deliberation.ruleml.org/1.02/xsd
• http://deliberation.ruleml.org/1.01/xsd

The Deliberation RuleML MYNG GUI determines the smallest anchor language containing a selection of features, and provides download access to, e.g., the XSDs in the above directories:

• http://deliberation.ruleml.org/1.03/myng
• http://deliberation.ruleml.org/1.02/myng
• http://deliberation.ruleml.org/1.01/myng

7.3.2 XSD: Older Reaction RuleML

The Reaction RuleML XSD schemas are normative.
