• IBM says:
  The Business Information Conformance Statement specification (sometimes referred to as “BICS”) provides an XML vocabulary framework for declaring a constraint processing model across abstract constraint mechanisms. BICS enables various schema, constraint templates, type systems, etc, to be defined as a concrete constraint mechanism. A BICS XML document instance then contains instances of concrete constraint mechanisms within a constraint processing model, resulting in a comprehensive statement of information constraints.
