À cet égard, ledit moteur de vérification de règles est chargé de récupérer des données à partir des bases de données de chacun des blocs désignés afin de valider la mise en page de conception par rapport à des règles de conception prédéfinies stockées dans une base de données de règles, qui doit être conforme à l'ontologie stockée dans une base de données d'ontologie.
