When you say standard you probably refer to OMG or?

I am interested in any available interchange system/translator. Are you
aware about such software? Can you indicate a trial or demo?

I suggest you to consult the REWERSE I1 Working Group web page
(http://oxygen.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/rewerse-i1/ ). Here you'll find:
1. A visual language for modeling rules, URML
(http://oxygen.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/rewerse-i1/?q=URML )
2. An interchange format, R2ML
(http://oxygen.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/rewerse-i1/?q=R2ML).
3. A number of translators for rule interchange
(http://oxygen.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/rewerse-i1/?q=translators )
4. A web Service for rules interchange
(http://oxygen.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/rewerse-i1/?q=ws )
5. A visual modeling tool Strelka
(http://oxygen.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/rewerse-i1/?q=strelka)

Can you help me on that? I am very interested in this formalism.
