Re: [rules-users] Thoughts about rule authoring

Hi, I have a remark, maybe its just out of scope... however as it is in the perspective of enabling end users to deal with their business domain, leaving appart the technical aspects (which is one of strong points of Drools), here it is. Drools is great because it enables to express things simply. For instance, in my company, we are annotating text. So our rules look like: when jim: Annotation (name = "/Person/Jim") boston: Annotation (name = "/City/Boston") ... However, in the end, it turns out that what is inside Strings is part as well of our business domain. Maybe it is probably stored into a database or whatever. So, in my dreams (and, surprisingly, so said the customer I saw yesterday and that didn't know anything about Drools!!), when I Ctrl-space at the beginning of the String (after "/P), the rule authoring environment suggests "/Person", juste because it knows, somehow, that annotations can be one of those (maybe in absolute, or in that particular context). Would you say that I completely lost my mind? :-) Or more prosaically that there is a design flaw in my data model? Personnally I have the impression to be somewhere in the middle...
