Chapter 2. Managing Assets
2.1. Assets
Rules provide the logic for the rule engine to execute against. A rule includes a name, attributes, a 'when' statement on the left hand side of the rule, and a 'then' statement on the right hand side of the rule.
Packages are deployable collections of assets. Rules and other assets must be collected into a package before they can be deployed. When a package is built, the assets contained in the package are validated and compiled into a deployable package.
Business Processes are flow charts that describe the steps necessary to achieve business goals (see the BRMS Business Process Management Guide for more details).
Decision Tables are collections of rules stored in either a spreadsheet or in the JBoss Enterprise BRMS user interface as guided decision tables.
Fact models are a collection of facts about the business domain. The rules interact with the fact model in rules-based applications.
A domain specific languages, or DSL, is a rule language that is dedicated to the problem domain.
