[rules-users] Hello and my first question

[Wolfgang Laun]

Then the approach depends on the way $NE1, $NE2 and $NE3 are to be added
to the structured object. If the two or three values need to be
combined (e.g., concatenated in some specific order), you might use
two distinct rules as extensions of the common part:

rule "body-anatomy"
when
   $NE1 : NE(Type.contains("body"))
   $NE2 : NE(Type.contains("anatomy"))
then
end

rule "body-anatomy anatomic"
extends  "body-anatomy"
when
   $NE3: NE(Type.contains("anatomic"))
then
    combine $NE1, $NE2, $NE3 as required, add to...
end

rule "body-anatomy no anatomic"
extends  "body-anatomy"
when
    not NE(Type.contains("anatomic"))
then
    combine $NE1, $NE2 as required, add to...
end

If $NE1 + $NE2 and $NE3 can be added individually, you might omit the
third rule and add $NE1 + $NE2 in the first rule. Or use the named
consequence feature.
