Dear Monica,

You wrote on July 07, 2012

"In these months we focalized too

much our attention on RuleML compliance rather than to follow the needs

of the legal community."

The TC Charter says (https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/legalruleml/charter.php):

"The goal of the LegalRuleML TC is to extend RuleML [RuleML 2011] with

features specific to the formalisation of norms, guidelines, and legal reasoning."

When one extends a language, there is no problem with compliance,

as new features are added to the language.

In the case of LegalRuleML, the new features must be specific to

the formalization of norms, guidelines, and legal reasoning.

So, in order to be truthful to the goal of the TC, to stay on track,

and to reach (reasonably many of) the planned deliverables in the

remaining months of the TC, we need to check that proposed features are

specific to the formalisation of norms, guidelines, and legal reasoning.

The language is seriously at risk of getting unmanageably big and

very hard to implement (with reasoning engines etc.) in its entirety!

Instead of trying to incorporate ever more features into LegalRuleML, often not

specific to the Legal Domain (or even duplicating features from supporting layers:

https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/legalruleml/201207/msg00012.html), we need

to focus quickly, leaving features not specific to the formalisation of norms,

guidelines, and legal reasoning to the long-standing partnership with RuleML

(cf. https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/legalruleml/201207/msg00001.html).

Best,

Harold
