RuleStore: Towards a Standard API for Rule Bases

Any rule-based system uses a knowledge base consists of a set of rules. Identifying a standard for storing and handling of rules and rulesets became a challenge. RuleML family of languages provides the interoperability framework for rules but does not specify any standard solution for rule storage and retrieval. In this paper we propose an model for a persistent storage for rules and an API specification for rules management. Our contribution aims to be aligned with the OMG specification towards a standard submission.
