Completed Work
W3C Recommendations have
been reviewed by W3C Members, by software developers, and by other
W3C groups and interested parties, and are endorsed by the
Director as Web Standards. Learn more about the W3C Recommendation
Track.
Group Notes are not standards and do not
have the same level of W3C endorsement.

errata
This document specifies a list of datatypes, built-in functions and built-in predicates expected to be supported by RIF dialects such as the RIF Core Dialect, the RIF Basic Logic Dialect, and the RIF Production Rules Dialect. Each dialect supporting a superset or subset of the datatypes, built-in functions and built-in predicates defined here shall specify these additions or restrictions. Some of the datatypes are adapted from XML Schema. A large part of the definitions of the listed functions and operators are adapted from XPath.
