Are your referring to your June '02 contributions to Alberto and Andy's
Query and Rule languages Use Cases and Examples
(http://rdfstore.sourceforge.net/2002/06/24/rdf-query/)?

Are your aware of Stefan, Mike, and Deborah's
Requirements and Use Cases for a Semantic Web Rule Language
(http://www.isi.edu/~stefan/rules/20030325/)?

Also, the RuleML Initiative already started a library of RuleML rulebases: 
http://www.ruleml.org/#Library

In RuleML we've been recently working on Object-Oriented RuleML and
its preliminary page, linking to talks, the RALOCA e-learning application,
and an early XSLT implementation:

In particular, here are possible relationships between OO RuleML and RDF:

(http://www.ruleml.org/indoo/ruleml-swarch.ppt)

Perhaps the query examples there can help you with an RDFQL-in-RuleML encoding.

On Wednesday, the RuleML Steering Committee will discuss about how the RuleML
Initiative might best contribute to RDF, RDF Query, and RDF Rules.
Input is most welcome!

Best,
Harold
