Abstract

We discuss language architecture for the Semantic Web, and in particular different proposals for extending this architecture with a rules component. We argue that an architecture that maximises compatibility with existing languages, in particular RDF and OWL, will benefit the development of the Semantic Web, and still allow for forms of closed world assumption and negation as failure.
