    <pub:abstract><![CDATA[Policies guide the way entities within a domain act, by providing
rules for their behavior. Most of the research in policies is within a
certain application area, for example security for databases, and
there are no general specifications for policies. Another problem
with policies is that they require domain dependent information,
forcing researchers to create policy languages that are bound to the
domains for which they were developed. This prevents policy
languages from being flexible and being usable across domains.
This report describes the specifications of the Rei policy language,
which provides constructs based on deontic concepts. These
constructs are extremely flexible and allow different kinds of
policies to be stated. This simple policy language is not tied to any
specific application and allows domain dependent information to
be added without any modification. The policy engine associated
with Rei accepts policies in first order logic and RDF. The report
also discusses the functionality of the policy engine that interprets
and reasons over Rei policies.]]></pub:abstract>
