You make a good point. A lot of the practical work on SW rules (e.g. jena), and on related SQL-flavored langages, is still more scruffy than neat. A recent attempt to neatify some of it is at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rule-workshop-discuss/2005Jun/att-0006/00-part Cheers, -- Adrian INTERNET BUSINESS LOGIC (R) www.reengineeringllc.com Adrian Walker Reengineering LLC PO Box 1412 Bristol CT 06011-1412 USA Phone: USA 860 583 9677 Cell: USA 860 830 2085 Fax: USA 860 314 1029
