Rules execution platform system and method

A non-transitory electronic device readable storage medium storing electronic device readable instructions for facilitating communication between one or more applications and one or more rules engines, the instructions causing one or more processors to:

• a. provide a platform protocol including a platform syntax for defining a rule, the platform protocol comprising an association between predetermined criteria relating to the rule and predetermined one or more rules engines;
• b. define one or more rules according to the platform syntax, wherein each rule of the one or more rules is associated with metadata;
• c. associate a rule defined at (b) with a rules engine of the predetermined one or more rules engines based on application of the predetermined criteria to the rule defined at (b), wherein the association of the rule defined at (b) with the rules engine of the predetermined one or more rules engines is stored in the metadata associated with the rule defined at (b);
• d. translating the rule associated at (c) into a rules engine syntax for the rules engine of the predetermined one or more rules engines;
• and
• e. storing the translated rule and its associated metadata in a rules repository.

A system for facilitating communication between one or more applications and one or more rules engines, system comprising:

• a storage medium for storing a rules repository;
• and
• one or more processors for:
• a. providing a platform protocol including a platform syntax for defining a rule, the platform protocol comprising an association between predetermined criteria relating to the rule and predetermined one or more rules engines;
• b. defining one or more rules according to the platform syntax, wherein each rule of the one or more rules is associated with metadata;
• c. associating a rule defined at (b) with a rules engine of the predetermined one or more rules engines based on application of the predetermined criteria to the rule defined at step (b), wherein the association of the rule defined at (b) with the rules engine of the predetermined one or more rules engines is stored in the metadata associated with the rule defined at (b);
• d. translating the rule associated in step (c) into a rules engine syntax for the rules engine of the predetermined one or more rules engines;
• and
• e. storing the translated rule and its associated metadata in the rules repository.
