Rule

Generalization is Identifiable.

Superclass hierarchy

Definition

A Rule has a Condition Part and an Action Part. A Rule takes the form of an If [Condition} Then [Action]. A Rule belongs to a RuleSet which is a component of RuleBasedScheduling performed by the ProcessingAgent

Examples

If Exists [InformationObject] Then Perform [Activity]

Explanatory notes

A Curator can tell if a a Rule from a RuleSet is in play or not. If RuleBaseScheduling is unable to bind the [InformationObject] from the Rules with an InformationObject in the ResearchStore, RuleBaseScheduling might call on the assistance of a Curator to discover an InformationObject with which RuleBasedScheduling can make do.
