RuleXpress
What it is
RuleXpress is paid web software for managing business vocabulary, rules, fact models, decision tables, and rule groups. RuleArts presents it as a business-friendly repository for writing precise, versioned rules in natural language alongside technical teams. It supports visual rule authoring, natural-language rules, decision tables, and rule testing tools, with both execution access options and on-premises deployment. The standard repository includes RuleSpeak support, quality checks, quality grades, collaborative rule writing, and shared vocabulary. Rules can link to requirements, instructions, documentation, IT components, source documents, and legislation. Terms can include synonyms and preferred terms, while references in definitions become hyperlinks. Users can extend metadata with typed, nested, and multiple-value properties. Reports can be generated as XML or formatted with style sheets. RuleXpress works offline or in a multi-user environment and can import definitions or generate XML for integrations.
