rule type

A rule type is a concrete class derived from the Rule- base class. For example, Rule-Obj-Property is a rule type.

Two distinct PRPC classes are involved for properties and many other rules:

• The class to which the rule belongs, or is an instance of
• The class to which the rule applies

For clarity in distinguishing these two, the former is called the rule type, and the latter is identified as the Applies To class, a key part.
