Abstract

This article introduces XChange, a rule-based reactive language for the (Semantic) Web. Stressing application scenarios, it first argues that high-level reactive languages are needed for both Web and Semantic Web applications. Then, it discusses technologies and paradigms relevant to high-level reactive languages for the (Semantic) Web.
