I'm extremely happy that, with RIF, a W3C recommendation for rules is forthcoming, and I believe that this is an important step in reconciling rules and ontologies for the Semantic Web. In particular, I think this will help advance recent proposals for rules+OWL (see e.g. the references below - we intend to work on corresponding RIF dialects) and thus help shape the Semantic Web community. We also included RIF in our textbook Pascal Hitzler, Markus Krötzsch, Sebastian Rudolph Foundations of Semantic Web Technologies.
