RE: ISSUE-33: Specification of data sources in RIF

Dave - yes I think they are related. Your entry at
http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/Arch/Data_Sets  is a good
discussion point.

The issue here is that one of the uses* for RIF is to provide a generic
rule representation for things like Domain Specific Languages** (and
specifically industry-specific standardized XML schema). 


* IMHO this is the most important critical success factor for RIF
(outside of the "semantic web"...). 
** Schema like those provided by ACORD, MISMO, XBRL, RosettaNet, etc
