overview of some of my use cases for SW rule interchange, esp. e-commerce, policies

Hi folks,

An overview of some of my use cases for semantic web rule interchange 
is at [1].
This points in particular at the subset of use cases described in 
[2], as well as some others.
These use cases are about policies for e-commerce and trust, 
including largely about e-contracting.

Several of these use cases (most of the ones in [2]) were picked up 
by the Semantic Web Services Framework
effort and made part of its application scenarios report.

One particularly interesting use case is a somewhat detailed one of 
merchant credit card authorization [3],
in which a merchant needs to merge their own small-biz-specific 
policies with a big bank's policies.
