Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for implementing rules. More specifically, a method, system and computer program product for implementing rules is developed by separating business rules from application logic. This architecture effects the implementation of software business rules in a single location, for sharing across software applications as needed. Software business rules are created and maintained by business experts directly, rather than requiring programmers to translate the rules to software code. Thus, programmers are free to concentrate on programming issues and software business rules (new logic, not just new values/ranges) may be added or changes may be made to existing rules without modifying the software applications which use the business rules.
