RIF holds 12th F2F - still moving forward

The RIF (Rules Interchange Format) Working Group held its 12th F2F meeting on Jan. 14-15, 2009, hosted by Oracle Corp. in Portland, Oregon, soon after releasing several working draft updates including the widely anticipated RIF Core specification and a new Test Cases document. The F2F meeting focused mainly on driving the Production rules dialect (PRD) to stability and last call, and also addressed open issues with RIF Core and with OWL Interoperability. At the current time, RIF expects to release a new Last Call version of the RDF&OWL compatibility document, with updates reflecting changes to OWL in OWL 2 (which is also in Last Call).
