A rule repository is the organized storage component of a business rules management system (BRMS). It defines, organizes, and efficiently stores business rules so the wider system can manage and apply them. section 2.2
A rule repository works alongside other BRMS components:
- A rule-authoring environment creates, modifies, and tests stored rules. section 2.2
- A rule coherence module checks new or changed rules for contradictions and inconsistencies. section 2.2
- An inference engine executes the defined rules, while governance manages versions, changes, and compliance. section 2.2
Self-driving vehicle rules
A repository could store rules covering speed limits, stop signs, traffic lights, right-of-way, pedestrian priority, lane changes, road closures, weather, visibility, congestion, and unexpected stops. These rules can then support automated decisions about vehicle behavior. section 2.2
