Event-Condition-Action Rule Languages for the Semantic Web

Abstract. The Semantic Web is based on XML and RDF as its fundamental standards for exchanging and storing information on the World Wide Web. Event-condition-action (ECA) rules are a natural candidate for supporting reactive functionality on XML or RDF repositories. In this paper we describe a language for ECA rules on XML and a prototype implementation of this language. We also discuss some preliminary ideas regarding a language for ECA rules operating on a graph/triple representation of RDF, and we describe the architecture of a distributed deployment of such RDF ECA rules.
