RuleML provides an extensive lattice of sublanguages ranging from
production rules to regular LP rules to First-Order Logic, es well as
sublanguages with such features as slotted syntax, meta-programming, and
courteous logic programming.

WRL makes a choice to use include particular features in the language.
It turns out that these features correspond to certain RuleML
sublanguages to a great extent. Therefore, RuleML can be used for the
XML serialization of a large part of the language.

The following document describes the (RuleML and other) schemas used for
the XML serialization of WRL:

More details on the XML serialization of WRL can be found at:

I hope this clarifies the issue.


Best, Jos
