  • Publication number: 20090241165
    Abstract: In an exemplary system, a compliance policy processing subsystem is selectively and communicatively coupled to a rules management subsystem. The rules management subsystem is configured to maintain a rules database. The compliance policy processing subsystem is configured to facilitate selection by a user of a section of text within a compliance policy, direct the rules management subsystem to identify one or more rules within the rules database that are relevant to the section of text, and display a representation of the relevant rules.
