RIF2Jess: Inferencing RIF Rules via Translation to Jess Rules
Wei Chen, Dantong Ouyang, Yu‐Xin Ye · 2009
The W3C recommendation named RIF provides a standard format to facilitate the exchange of rules. After being translated to RIF, the rule language needs a rule engine to perform inference. On the condition that there is no specific rule engine to RIF, this paper proposes the idea of using common rule engine to reason RIF. A system named RIF2Jess is designed. This system translates RIF rule to Jess rule and uses Jess rule engine to perform inference. Thus, we finish the inference of RIF by using RIF2Jess. Experiments show that RIF2Jess can make the translation precisely and get the result completely.
