A document that sets out the specific rules, guidelines, or procedures that a public service follows.
Rules include the terms of service, licence, and authentication requirements of the service. Instances of the Rule class are FRBR Expressions, that is, a concrete expression, such as a document, of the more abstract concept of the rules themselves. Rules are used for validating the input required by the service, deciding on the eligibility of the user, steering the service process and defining the dependencies/relationships between services. The Core Vocabularies do not envisage instances of the Rule class as machine-processable business rules.
