Attributes - Overview

What are attributes?

In a rule engine, attributes are pieces of information or data that are used to make decisions or apply rules. They help the rule engine understand and evaluate different situations or conditions.

For example, for an airline business, the attributes required to compute the point accrual would be:

1. Flight destination: Determines specific rules or decisions for the destination.
2. Passenger age: Applies different rules or policies based on age groups.
3. Flight time: Triggers rules or actions based on departure or arrival time.
4. Ticket class: Applies different rules or services based on ticket class.
