I can think of a couple. DMN kinda does this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_Model_and_Notation

and Drools: https://www.drools.org

There are papers describing using OWL for biz rules, too: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-642-32689-....

One of the biggest problems (IMHO) in this space (which I've worked in CLIPS-based systems http://clipsrules.sourceforge.net) is that business rules are often not as "logical" as they seem and can cause real problems for novices without formal logic training. Sometimes the business rules aren't even "rules" as such, which makes it really hard to both create and explain.
