Element Type Definition

Element Type Name	NAMED_RULE
Short Name	RUL
View Name	CI_NAMED_RULES
Description	An expression that evaluates to a boolean (eg "X > 7") that can be
	used in a number of contexts. For example a rule might be a
	pre-condition or post-condition for an activity or a guard condition
	on a transition.

	A rule can be made up of smaller rules, called rule fragments. Each
	rule fragment is however a rule in its own right and can be used
	independently of the larger rules in which it is a fragment.
