Patent abstract

An attribute engine matches incoming data against one or more matching attributes to set one or more target attributes of one or more rules. Each rule is characterized by a rule shape and a matchset. A template is defined for each rule shape and target attribute. Templates associated with a target attribute are sorted according to their matchsets and may be suppressed by one or more rule suppression principles. A rules editor is provided that allows support personnel to edit rules in tabular form instead of directly editing pseudo-code segments.
