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... > > Andy > Geoff
