## Interface KieBase

- All Superinterfaces:
    KieBaseEventManager

      public interface KieBase
      extends KieBaseEventManager

  The KieBase is a repository of all the application's knowledge definitions. It will contain rules, processes, functions, type models. The KieBase itself does not contain runtime data, instead sessions are created from the KieBase in which data can be inserted and process instances started.
