 Stanbol Rules is a component that supports the construction and execution of 
inference rules. An __inference rule__, or transformation rule, is a syntactic 
rule or function which takes premises and returns a conclusion. Stanbol Rules 
allows to add a layer for expressing business logics by means of axioms, which 
encode the inference rules. These axioms can be organized into a container 
called __recipe__, which identifies a set of rules that share the same business 
logic and interpret them as a whole.
 
-For instance, with Stanbol Rules the administrator can define integrity checks 
for data fetched from heterogeneous and external sources in order to prevent 
unwanted formats or inconsistent data. Also, Stanbol Rules can be used to 
derive new knowledge or integrate information from different semantically 
enhanced contents.
+## Usage Scenarios

+### Integrity check from data fusion
+With Stanbol Rules the administrator can define integrity checks for data 
fetched from heterogeneous and external sources in order to prevent unwanted 
formats or inconsistent data. 
+In such a way the administrator is able to configure the CMS in order filter 
knowledge retrieved in Linked Data, e.g., via the [Enhancer](enhancer.html), 
that satisfies some integrity driven constraint. The constraint can be defined 
by means of Stanbol Rules.
+For instance in a CMS which collects core knowledge about musicians it might 
possible to define integrity check rules which keep only entities that are 
typed as Musicians in DBpedia <a href="#dbpedia">[5]</a> and have an associated 
image, a birth place and the instrument played.
+Any other entity not satisfying the constraints is discarded.   
+
+Also, Stanbol Rules can be used to derive new knowledge or integrate 
information from different semantically enhanced contents.
