| For the implementation of Guideline and Constraint it is important to consider what should happen when they are
 |
| violated. Most of the time the action part will rise an exception or a high priority issue.

| An important item to note in computation rules is that we need to manage the actual calculation but also if there are
 |
| rules that are required to be managed prior to those calculations and the rules that are required to manage that are
 |
| included in terms of the calculation – then the entire rule set needs to be managed not only just the actual
 |
| computation rule. &nbsp;

| Process flow rules are rules that purely direct the movement through a process flow (or workflow, etc.). It may be
 |
| helpful to distinguish process flow rules from the business logic rules that determine the values of the parameters on
 |
| which the process flow is directed.

| ETL rules, or data transformation rules, are often considered separately from other business rules, although in pattern
 |
| they are essentially inference rules and computation rules. Data transformation rules, while important to the business,
 |
| are a side-effect of system implementation rather than a reflection of core business logic per se. For implementation,
 |
| the decision to use a rule engine for ETL rules should depend on whether the rules are static or dynamic, but also the
 |
| maturity of the mapping knowledge. We used rule engine to easily implement transformation rules between two data model,
 |
| and once the environment is more stable, some of those mapping are put back on the code.
