Abstract
A “business rule” precisely describes communities of business things:
A business rule is a proposition about business things, relationships between them and operations applied to them, from the business enterprise viewpoint. [X3H7-96]
A proposition is an observable fact or state of affairs involving one or more entities, of which it is possible to assert or deny that it holds for those entities. [RM-ODP95]
