Abstract
The Semantic Web is based on XML and RDF as standards for exchanging and storing information on the World Wide Web. Event-Condition-Action rules are a possible candidate technology for distributed web-based applications that require timely notification and propagation of events and information between different sites. This paper discusses the provision of ECA rules for XML and RDF data, and highlights some of the challenges that arise.
