I have some rules for validating data, e.g.

(defrule warn-if-no-name
  ?taxon <- (taxon (name nil))
    =>
  (assert (warning (message "No name set") (resource ?taxon))))

Now, if a value is set for the 'name' slot, the 'warning' should be
retracted. Is there any way to accomplish this with a single rule, or do
I have to duplicate and negate the complete rule?

(defrule remove-warning-if-name
  ?taxon <- (taxon (name ~nil))
  ?fact <- (warning (message "No name set") (resource ?taxon))
    =>
  (retract ?fact))

It's quite possible that my approach to the problem is flawed,
neverthless I hope you can see what I am trying to do here.
