Population rules for most databases are currently written in free format English. This lack of standardization has produced population rules that are frequently ambiguous and lacking critical information. A new formal population rule language (PRL) has been designed to remove ambiguities from the population rules. PRL consists of a standard format template and a dependency section. The template describes all the information about the relation. The dependency section expresses intra- and interrelation constraints in a structured language. The authors describe the syntax and semantics of PRL
