This site is about developing simple implementations of business rules and rule-based systems for the Semantic Web, mostly built from Open Source components. 

The result should be both powerful enough and simple enough for a detail-oriented, but non-technical business person to solve everyday problems encountered in knowledge-intensive tasks.

An overview of business rule technology and business rules methodology.  Does business rules technology hold the key to the success of the Semantic Web ?      

Semantic Services and the emergence of the Service Oriented Architecture.

How business rule technology can help users to utilize the emerging technology of the Semantic Web.

An overview of existing technology to implement rule based systems.  

Simple rule engines and a description of the basic design of a Semantic-Web-worthy inference engine.

Implementation issues for designing and managing rule bases.

Semantic Services and the emergence of the Service Oriented Architecture.
