The following chuncks of text should be added elegantly to the home page, lower down:
Obligation, Permission and Encouragement
expressed with terms
MUST, MAY and SHOULD
and their various negatives and synonyms
rules-as-data
by anyone,
for any purpose,
on any platform,
in any language.
Fast functional knowledge of rules that are deemed to be:
‘in effect’ for dates/times and jurisdictions;
‘applicable’ to your industry, product or service context; and,
‘invoked’ by a particular circumstance of the moment.
What is a rule?
Assertion of a practical, logical, ethical or aesthetic relation
between what ‘is’ and what ‘ought’ to be,
established among two or more individuals or entities.
IS + RULE --> OUGHT
"Data With Direction Specification" (DWDS)
The RuleMaker application
simplify, transcribe, and publish rules.
The RuleReserve network service
Store, sift, and transmit rules-as-data.
The RuleTaker component
Discover, fetch, scrutinize, and use rules.
A Practicable Business Solution:
A DWDS describes how to create 'an Internet of Rules': a decentralized distributed network service for anyone to author, publish, discover, fetch, scrutinize, prioritize and, with agreement of direct stakeholders, automate rules that are ‘in effect’, ‘applicable’ and ‘invoked’ by a circumstance, across any informatics network, with precision, simplicity, scale, speed, resilience, and deference.
The Network Effect:
The value of 'an Internet of Rules' to any individual user increases as there is greater adoption across the entire user base.
• Greater performance by each is more attainable the more RuleReserve gets populated by all;
• Distribution of effort enables economies of scale (lower per-user cost; spread cost of innovation);
• Joint benefits of a generic network usable by any platform (write once, run anywhere);
• Free/libre open source licensing of the core IoR components facilitates ubiquitous deployment and use.
