Defining the RuleSet Root Element

The ruleset root element has two attributes:

• RuleSetName. For example, default_ruleset. This name is referened in RuleSet to URI mapping.

• Extends. This attribute refers to the inheritance feature of rulesets. An extends value points to the ruleset from which you would like to derive a ruleset.

  Use the extends value none to signify that this new, independent ruleset does not depend on any other ruleset, or specify your RuleSetName to signify that your ruleset depends on another ruleset.
