Abstract
Rules and Ontologies are two parts of the Semantic Web which considerably afford highly adaptable and generic approaches according to their interoperability and unified application. Within this paper we present a proposal and conceptualization of R2RIF, a rule integration plugin for Protégé OWL, aiming to combine ontologies and rules to build appropriate conceptual models for a domain of interest. Hence, this task comes up with several specific topics regarding transformation of different rule languages into one common interoperable W3C Rule-Interchange-Format (RIF), converting domain knowledge within ontologies into Horn Logic axioms and terms, and merging them with semantic compatible RIF rules. Subsumption reasoning and consistency checks of such ontology/rule models deliver expressive domain models. According to transformation and conversion tasks, R2RIF delivers generic algorithms and workflows to be adaptable for different ontology and rule languages.
