I'm evaluating Drools and other RMSs, looking for
one that provides the following features:
1) Citation tracking. I need to note what articles or scenarios
motivated a rule, and be able to provide a short description of how the
rule supports each. This goes beyond commenting because I need to have
access to a list of all articles and scenarios used and be able to jump
to the rules that hang from them.
2) Jess rule language. Our team has a symbolic AI background, and
Drools' language is non-intuitive to us. It appears that Drools is
built on Jess, and Jess' language would work much better for us. Is
there a way to use Jess' language, including intellisense support?
3) Export to sourceforge. Our deployments involve exporting the
rulebase and associated citation tracking to sourceforge or google
code. That is, we want to deploy text rather than binaries. Is there a
better way to do this than a simple db export?
I've checked the user manuals and list archives for each of these
questions but wasn't able to answer them for myself.
