RE: Scope

I'm not up to speed on RuleML but it does seem like a starting point to
consider.   Would someone like to comment here?  How would it describe
getting back a set of results?  If could do a DTD/Schema within that
framework or reuse one existing one the it would minimise the work needed.

So the suggestions so far are for:
1 - use case/requirements
2 - looking at work to reuse.

Any work that could be reused here? could, for example, ruleml be used to
specify a query? i.e. by specifiying a rule that implied the query result?
or some other existing format that's suitable? it would be nice to avoid
re-inventing something...
