Web Rule Languages to Carry Policies

Recent efforts in the area of Web policy languages show concerns on how to better represent both context and rules of a domain to deal with large number of resources and users. Interaction between domains with different business rules is also another questionable issue in this same area. Web rule languages have been recently introduced as a means to facilitate interaction between parties with dissimilar policies and business rules. Efforts have been placed to further review the possibility of the proposed solutions and extend them to work with other Web technologies. In this paper, we introduce REWERSE Rule Markup Language (R2ML) as a Web rule language that can be employed to make concepts, policies, and elements of a domain digestible by another domain through the use of vocabularies, rules, and annotations. We also show how R2ML elements can model the concepts and elements of different policy languages and assist systems with diverse policies with their interactions.
