Abstract
This paper describes an approach in the double context of business rules and techniques of the semantic web, the ontologies. This approach consists of enabling the use of business rules to automate the decisions on domains which semantic is formalized with an ontological language. Our main objective is to enable business users to edit, manage and execute business rules grounded in ontologies without resorting to an expert. The implementation is based on the Business Rule Management System (BRMS) IBM WebSphere ILOG JRules.
