An organisation’s activity under dynamic changes of business processes requires continuous improvement of business practices. This implies the necessity of refining decision making processes. Business rules [6], [8] enable experts to transfer enterprise strategy onto the operational level using simple sentences which, in turn, can automate reactions to subsequent events both inside and outside an organisation. The main advantage of the business rules is their simplicity and flexibility so they can be easily utilised by different organisations for different purposes. In order to represent knowledge in a pseudo-natural language understandable to information systems (business rules engines), notation and description standards are required. This study presents an overview of the most popular business rules description languages and proposes criteria for their classification. Based on those criteria a comprehensive classification of business rules modelling languages are provided.
