They have added a few twists that allow for collaborative design between DMV and its development vendor. This is actually exiting stuff. And yes, by using the Enterprise Architect tool we are able to identify relationships and sequencing of rules in the model. It will be interesting to see what the longer term implementation results are as well. As a contractor, I do not see any of the vendor proposals for the new system, but I expect that they all have something similar to ilog. It is going to be fun.

I will research your link. We do of course, find business rules. We also have a separate process reviewing/discovering the more detailed business rules that are embedded in legacy system code and tables. The difference in granularity between BPR level rules and code level rules can be an issue. Still, in the long run, a rule is just another form of requirement that needs to be traced to applicable business processes. Actually, you may be of tremendous help here. I will research your link.

Do you use any methodology to capture the rules? Do you use ICONIX too? Can you keep track of relationships and sequence between rules? I found the following Agile Business Rule Development could, http://www.ilog.com/brms/media/ABRD/ which could be helpful in your situation.
