Abstract

All rules are not usually elicited from business system, sometimes they are damaged during transformation from business level to program system or implementation level in information system development process. Hence, in this paper we propose an idea how to improve the process of creating the correct set of business rules. It is suggested to use ontology to avoid incorrectness. Besides, researches state that using templates of business rules can enable us to define rules in more precise way. It is proposed to rely on the integrated framework of business rules elicitation, which came after detailed analysis of business rules and their elicitation process. The main activities in business rules elicitation process on business, information and program systems levels are defined in the framework, and the actual open issues are formulated. Provided suggestions shows trends in evolution of tools that facilitate activities concerned to using the rules.
