FAQ #11
Question: Why is the Business Rule Manifesto called a Manifesto?

Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary defines "manifesto" as "a public declaration of intentions, motivations, or views: a public statement of policy or intention". That sense of "manifesto" exactly describes the purpose of its content.

The Business Rules Group
The Business Rules Group As prepared by members of The Business Rules Group,

Originally a project within GUIDE International, the Business Rules Group [BRG] subsequently became an independent organization. BRG's membership comprises experienced practitioners in the field of systems and business analysis methodology. BRG's members are practitioners who work in both the public and the private sectors.

The BRG charter is to formulate statements and supporting standards about the nature and structure of business rules, the relationship of business rules with the way an enterprise is organized, and the relationship of business rules with systems' architectures.

BRG's standards work has been picked up and merged with OMG's.
