RFML Homepage

The Relational-Functional Markup Language (RFML) is an XML application for Relfun-style declarative programming and knowledge representation. RFML has been implemented as a (Web-)output syntax for relational-functional knowledge bases and computations as part of the Relfun system. (Web-)input of RFML markup has been implemented via an XSLT stylesheet. A Broker Example illustrates.
