[rules-users] Hello and my first question

[Bojan Janisch]

Solution:

So I've decided for a third solution. First was using the named consequence feature, 
but I did not want to have multiple consequence-blocks, that would only make confusing 
code. The second solution was extending the rule, that would have been a nice solution, 
but also confusing by growing optionally conditions. So I used the third solution, 
I've splitted the rule into two rules. It's almost the same as the extending version 
with a slight difference in the time when it comes for passing the condition.

I think the hierarchy will give a better overview by understanding the rules, thats 
why I choosed separation instead of extension rules.

State of my rules:

rule "Annotate Anatomy"
when
    $NE1 : NE(Type.contains("body"))
    $NE2 : NE(Type.contains("anatomy"))
then
    $anno : Annotation($NE1 + " " $NE2);
    anno.setType("Anatomy");
    list.add(anno);
end


rule "Add AnatomicSide to Anatomy"
when
    $AN : Annotation(Type.contains("Anatomy"))
    $NE : NE(Type.contains("anatomic"))
then
    $anno : Annotation($AN + " " $NE)
    anno.setType("Anatomy");
    list.add(anno);
    list.remove(AN);
end


Thanks for solving this problem.

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.
