Data With Direction.
Expressions of obligation, permission or encouragement constitute a distinct class of data of the type:
IS + RULE ⟾ OUGHT
Instantaneously discover and transmit rules-as-data in a way that is directly usable by anyone and by any platform, for any purpose, in any language.
Reference Implementations
Rule Taker
The rules you want to know about, now.
Rule Reserve
Where rules go to be found.
Rule Maker
Write the rules you want to see.

Rules-as-Data
By Anyone,
For Any purpose,
On Any platform,
In Any language.
Fast functional knowledge of rules that are deemed to be:
- ‘in effect’ for dates/times and jurisdictions;
- ‘applicable’ to your industry, product or service context; and
- ‘invoked’ by a particular circumstance of the moment.
What is a rule?
Assertion of a practical, logical, ethical or aesthetic relation between what ‘is’ and what ‘ought’ to be, established among two or more individuals or entities.

The RuleMaker application
The RuleReserve network service
The RuleTaker component
A Practicable Business Solution:
A DWDS describes how to create 'an Internet of Rules': a decentralized distributed network service for anyone to author, publish, discover, fetch, scrutinize, prioritize and, with agreement of direct stakeholders, automate rules that are ‘in effect’, ‘applicable’ and ‘invoked’ by a circumstance, across any informatics network, with precision, simplicity, scale, speed, resilience, and deference.
The Network
Effect
The value of 'an Internet of Rules' to any individual user increases as there is greater adoption across the entire user base:
- Greater performance by each is more attainable the more RuleReserve gets populated by all;
- Distribution of effort enables economies of scale (lower per-user cost; spread cost of innovation); and
- Joint benefits of a generic network usable by any platform (write once, run anywhere).
We are a decentralized community of contributors that are collaborating across disciplines and attitudes to design general purpose systems that work.
