Here, in non-proprietary format, is the modified text we agreed on this morning: 1 RIF will use URIs (IRIs) in the style of RDF and OWL, using them to identify at least: globally named predicates, functions, datatypes, constants (OWL individuals, not literal values), rules, rulesets. o Translators to and from languages which do not use URIs as names will need to use a name-mapping system (such as namespace prefixes) 2 NAMING-BREAKOUT-PROPOSAL-2: RIF does not mandate any particular mapping scheme. It will provide a metadata vocabulary to allow translators to record the mapping if they choose to. o For example, in rule systems where the predicates refer to fields of java objects the metadata annotations might be used to carry the java fully-qualified classname and field name. o For RIF these are purely annotations, any use of them for carrying semantic information steps outside of RIF.
