Automatic enforcement of business rules as ADBMS triggers from conceptual graphs model

Abstract

The business rules approach to business information systems development has already gained a lot of attention from both research communities and commercial organizations. In this paper we survey the current situation and point out the lack of standards in business rules technologies. We elaborate on our approach to business rules modeling by conceptual graphs and enforcement tasks which is presented in our earlier publications, now focusing on trigger generation component, which employs active database management systems as the rules enforcement technology, also allowing the possibility of rules sharing or exchange through the business rules repository in XML format.
