چکیده

We have developed a new pricing and scoring application for a large insurance company’s car insurance products.

The ontology and rules are not merely documentation or a specification of the application, they form the business logic of the application. In other words the application is ontology-centric. The application efficiently generates quotes, calculates the pricing of contracts and determines the applicability of a product based on an acceptance policy.
