Summary
Data driven rules is one of the important rule types that are used by database applications. This paper analyzes requirements for a programming paradigm appropriate for the support of data-driven rules, states the linguistic paradigm, discusses its supporting architecture and shows an extension of the model to support temporal functionalities, especially retroactive and proactive processing. The focus in this paper is on the software engineering aspects of the proposed model: ease of use through a high-level language and improving the verifiability of the rule language.
