Exam ECBA topic 1 question 56 discussion

A. A representation of the operational knowledge of the organization Explanation: Definitional rules specify the meanings, classifications, and relationships of concepts within an organization. They are essentially statements that define how business concepts are understood and related to one another, forming the basis for shared understanding and consistent communication across the organization. Definitional rules cannot be violated because they define what is true by definition, such as "All customers must have a unique customer ID."

Page 241 definitional rules represent operational knowledge of the organization

Definitional rules shape concepts, or produce knowledge or information. They indicate something that is necessarily true (or untrue) about some concept, thereby supplementing its definition. In contrast to behavioural rules, which are about the behaviour of people, definitional rules represent operational knowledge of the organization. An example of a definitional rule is: A customer must be considered a Preferred Customer if they place more than 10 orders per month.
