From the website:
The RuleML Initiative is an international non-profit organization covering all aspects of Web rules and their interoperation, with a Structure and Technical Groups that center on RuleML specification, tool, and application development. Around RuleML, an open network of individuals and groups from both industry and academia has emerged, having a shared interest in modern rule topics, including the interoperation of Semantic Web rules. The RuleML Initiative has been collaborating with OASIS on Legal XML, Policy RuleML, and related efforts since 2004. The Initiative has further been interacting with the developers of ISO Common Logic (CL), which became an International Standard, First edition, in October 2007. RuleML is also a member of OMG, contributing to its Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules (SBVR), which went into Version 1.0 in January 2008, and to its Production Rule Representation (PRR), which went into Version 1.0 in December 2009. Moreover, participants of the RuleML Initiative have supported the development of the W3C Rule Interchange Format (RIF), which attained Recommendation status in June 2010. The annual RuleML Symposium has taken the lead in bringing together delegates from industry and academia who share this interest focus in Web rules.
