Rule for Environmental Compliance Check

@prefix trade: <http://example.org/trade#> .

@prefix reg: <http://example.org/regulation#> .

# Define Environmental Standards for Countries

ex:USA reg:environmentalStandard reg:LowCarbonEmissionStandard .

ex:Germany reg:environmentalStandard reg:RecyclableMaterialStandard .

ex:Brazil reg:environmentalStandard reg:ToxicChemicalRestrictionStandard .



# Define Material Compliance with Standards

ex:Aluminum reg:complianceRequiredWith reg:RecyclableMaterialStandard, reg:LowCarbonEmissionStandard .

ex:Plastic reg:complianceRequiredWith reg:ToxicChemicalRestrictionStandard .



# Export Product Definitions

ex:Product123 a trade:ExportItem;

               trade:destinationCountry ex:Germany;

               trade:material ex:Aluminum.



ex:Product456 a trade:ExportItem;

               trade:destinationCountry ex:Brazil;

               trade:material ex:Plastic.



# Rule for Compliance Check

             trade:material ?material.

Explanation of the N3 Logic

Defining Environmental Standards

The code starts by assigning specific environmental standards to countries. For instance, the USA has ‘Low Carbon Emission Standard’, Germany has ‘Recyclable Material Standard’, etc.

Material Compliance

It defines which materials comply with which environmental standards. For example, Aluminum complies with the ‘Recyclable Material Standard’ and the ‘Low Carbon Emission Standard’

Export Product Definitions

Specific products are defined with their destination countries and materials. For example, Product123 is an export item made of Aluminum, destined for Germany

Compliance Check Rule

This rule checks if the material of a product complies with the environmental standard of the destination country. If it does, the product is marked as “Compliant”

Non-Compliance Rule

This rule identifies if the product’s material does not comply with the destination country’s environmental standard and marks it as “Non-Compliant”

Practical Example

An export item made of a specific material destined for a country with strict environmental standards

The system checks the material against the destination country’s environmental standards and confirms compliance
