A Framework for Web-based Interoperation among Business Rules
نویسنده
چکیده
The present paper describes the approach and two technical solutions for interoperation between business rules represented in various formats. The Semantic Web techniques are used to enable this interoperation. One of the interoperation methods uses the Java Interoperation Object (JIO) described in the context of Positional-Slotted Language (POSL), which a human-friendly variant of the Rule Markup Language (RuleML), and Notation 3 (N3) representations. Details of the connections between these document representations are demonstrated with the use of query-based interoperation between POSL and N3. Another solution described in the present paper is conversion of business rules stored in Microsoft Excel as decision tables into POSL using OpenL tablets. Although the current business rules interoperation framework involves three formats (Excel, POSL, and N3), it can be extended to other document representations through appropriate conversions of data in rule bases and queries. Keywords— Knowledge Representation, XML, RDF, Notation 3, Positional-Slotted Language, Rule Markup Language, Semantic Web, Query
