Definitions for "Business Rule"
a statement that defines or constrains some aspect of the business. This must be a term or fact (described below as a structural assertion), a constraint (described below as an action assertion), or a derivation. It is "atomic" in that it cannot be broken down or decomposed further into more detailed business rules. If reduced any further, there would be loss of important information about the business.
