Knowledge Rule Interoperability through Web Services Seema Degwekar There are several recent efforts that focus on representing human/organizational knowledge in a format suitable for machine processing. The main objective is to enable systematic knowledge sharing and evolution. Different types of knowledge rules can be used to capture what we call multi-faceted knowledge specified in business policies, procedures, constraints and processes. A structure of such rules models the rule execution order of business procedures and processes. Interoperation among distributed, heterogeneous rules and rule structures is needed to support decision-making and problem-solving. In this talk, I would like to present our strategy for knowledge specification and sharing in an event-and-rule-based system. Our approach converts heterogeneous knowledge rules into code automatically and wraps them as web services for their registration, discovery, invocation, interoperation and reuse in a web service infrastructure. |
