Australian Defence Organisation S1000D issue 5.0 is the latest version of the Business Rules Exchange (BREX) data module (DM).
It is a specific S1000D DM which holds a set of computer readable rules, against which every DM is validated to make sure it conforms to the rules.
The BREX file, which is checked against, is specified in the DMs.
BREX is used to tailor the S1000D specification for each projects’ needs. The BREX is typically shared between partner companies to ensure each company write their DMs against the same set of project specific rules, additionally that of the S1000D rules.
The BREX contains business rule decisions which can be checked via electronic checkers.
