What is a definitional rule?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AB

A definitional rule is a representation of the operational knowledge of the organization. It specifies the meanings, classifications, and relationships of concepts within the organization, forming the basis for shared understanding and consistent communication. Unlike rules that pertain to obligations or prohibitions, definitional rules are statements that define what is true by definition and cannot be violated.

Definitional rules shape concepts, or produce knowledge or information. They indicate something that is necessarily true (or untrue) about some concept, thereby supplementing its definition. In contrast to behavioural rules, which are about the behaviour of people, definitional rules represent operational knowledge of the organization. An example of a definitional rule is: A customer must be considered a Preferred Customer if they place more than 10 orders per month.

A. A representation of the operational knowledge of the organization Explanation: Definitional rules specify the meanings, classifications, and relationships of concepts within an organization. They are essentially statements that define how business concepts are understood and related to one another, forming the basis for shared understanding and consistent communication across the organization. Definitional rules cannot be violated because they define what is true by definition, such as "All customers must have a unique customer ID."
