[rules-dev] Rules Modelling with UML

[Diouf Mouhamed]

Hi,
The OMG Production Rule Represation (PRR) aims to standardize a business 
rule formalism independently of any rule engine. The OMG PRR is at the 
Platform Independent Level (PIM) of the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) 
will offer a MOF instance of a rule formalism (UML). The OMG has 
requested a proposal until 2003 and at this moment no real submission 
exist. As related work, the Rule Interchange Format (RIF) exist at the 
W3C. The W3C work on rule formalsm is planed in 2 phases. The first 
phase will be terminated in November 2007. Before OMG PRR and W3C RIF 
other tentatives have existed like RuleML, Common Rules (IBM)  Simple 
Rule (ILOG).
Actually it does not exist any standard rule formalism in UML and this 
make late the adoption of business rule approach because you have note a 
flexible way to migrate your rules into another rule engine format (loke 
JRules to JBoss Rules or JBoss Rules to Jess and so one).
In a project what we have done is to create our one rule formalism in 
UML and uses models transformation to transforme our rules to the 
selected rule engine.
