Abstract
An information integrity rules framework manages rules across heterogeneous enforcement systems by managing canonical rules that are mapped to native rules and enforcement system-specific rules. The information integrity rules framework discovers an existing native rule utilized by an enforcement system, which is written in an enforcement system-specific format. Next, the information integrity rules framework creates a mapping entry and maps the native rule to a canonical rule, which is independent from the enforcement system. When the information integrity rules framework detects a change to one of the rules managed by the framework, the information integrity rules framework propagates the change to other corresponding rules across enforcement systems managed by the framework.
