In Corticon, rule assets are the essential files that meld the Corticon Rule Language with the structure and typing you created in a vocabulary onto a canvas that sequences the rules, the rule sets, and embeds other canvases into a single Ruleflow that can be packaged and deployed. Some designs have hundreds of rules in dozens of Ruleflows that use an elaborate Vocabulary of entities, atttributes, and associations to define a single Decision Service.
A Corticon Decision Service has all its rule assets available, whether loosely assembled around a Deployment Descriptor, or embedded in a compiled Decision Service.
