Rule Interchange Format (RIF) is a proposed component of the semantic web. The World Wide Web Consortium is developing it as a potentially recommended format for the interchange of rules in rule-based systems on the semantic web. The goal is to create an interchange format for different rule languages[clarification needed] and inference engines.
An ontology describes a set of objects in a machine-readable way; RIF rules describe how to infer new information from an ontology, how to combine it in a useful fashion, or otherwise manipulate and make use of it.
History
The RIF working group was chartered in late 2005. Among its goals was drawing in members of the commercial rules marketplace. The working group started with more than 50 members and two chairs drawn from industry, Christian de Sainte Marie of ILOG, and Chris Welty of IBM.
