A rule template provides a framework for a business rule that is used as a basis for creating rules with a similar structure. A rule template represents a partially defined business rule that contains placeholders for missing information where only the value filled in the placeholders varies. A rule template can be based on any business rule language, such as the BAL, decision tables, decision trees, or a custom language.

A template library contains a set of rule templates and a BOM that defines the vocabulary of these templates. Once created, a rule template is specific to a particular business rule language and dynamically linked to the BOM through its template library.
