"Business Rules"

This is a logical model of the business rules of the enterprise in terms of their intent ("ends") and the constraints ("means").  Although no commonly accepted notation exists at the present time for Business Rules, several notations have been defined and proposed including Ron Ross' Business Rules Models, Terry Halpin's Object Rule Language and Bob Brown's Rule and Constraint Language.
