Web Rule Languages to Carry Policies

Recent efforts in the area of Web policy languages show concerns on how to better represent both context and rules of a domain to deal with large number of resources and users and let them interact. Web rule languages have been recently introduced as a means to facilitate interactions between parties with dissimilar policies and business rules. In this paper, we introduce REWERSE rule markup language (R2ML) as a Web rule language that can be employed to make concepts, policies, and elements of a domain digestible by another domain through the use of vocabularies, rules, and annotations. We also show how R2ML elements can model the concepts and elements of different policy languages.
