Re: [rules-dev] RIF PRD translation effort to/from Drools & Jess

Pierre, Good to see works like yours being done. Drools has an internal canonical model that we use to round trip rules between the syntaxes we support. The best way of supporting "RIF" in Drools is to simply add a parser that parses RIF and populates the canonical model. From that we have a DRL "dumper" that generates DRL, enabling the RIF->DRL translation. Also, if we create a RIF "dumper", one can then generate RIF rules from the canonical model, enabling DRL->RIF translation. That assumes that there is a 1-to-1 semantic mapping between RIF and DRL (I believe there is, but didn't checked).
