Semantic Formulations in SBVR
نویسندگان
چکیده
Business rules are generally expressed in natural language, although some rules are at times illustrated graphically. SBVR is not a logic language for restating business rules in some other language that business people don’t use. Rather, SBVR provides a means for describing the structure of the meaning of rules expressed in the natural language that business people use. SBVR calls this “semantic formulation”. Semantic formulations are not expressions or statements. They are structures that make up meaning. SBVR provides a vocabulary for describing them. Using SBVR, the meaning of a definition or statement is communicated as facts about the semantic formulation of the meaning, not as a restatement of the meaning in a formal language.

Transforming Sbvr Business Semantics into Web Ontology Language Owl2: Main Concepts
The future vision of business information systems rely on semantic technologies as the Web Ontology Language OWL (currently, OWL2) that defines a meaning of business concepts and make them unambiguously understandable by human experts and software systems. Nevertheless, the spread of these technologies is observed mainly in the scientific papers and in some special domains, but not in everyday ...
متن کاملSBVR Business Rules Generation from Natural Language Specification
In this paper, we present a novel approach of translating natural languages specification to SBVR business rules. The business rules constraint business structure or control behaviour of a business process. In modern business modelling, one of the important phases is writing business rules. Typically, a business rule analyst has to manually write hundreds of business rules in a natural language...
متن کاملLexical Ontology Model Based on SBVR Representations
The paper presents a model of lexical ontology, based on SBVR representations, which is related to domain ontology used for semantic search in Lithuanian Internet corpus. The advantage of using SBVR based lexical ontology is the support of various relations among different types of meanings and representations, considering phrases instead of single words, and possibility of transformations to (...
متن کاملSBVR's Approach to Controlled Natural Language
The "Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules" (SBVR 1.0) is one of the initial specifications in the OMG's family of business-focused specifications. SBVR covers two aspects: Vocabulary (natural language ontology) and Rules (elements of guidance that govern actions). However, SBVR does not standardize any particular language for expressing vocabularies and rules. Instead, SBVR uses ...
متن کاملSBVR as a Semantic Hub for Integration of Heterogeneous Systems
Extracting integration rules to handle semantic heterogeneity is one of the main challenges of achieving seamless connectivity between distributed systems. Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Rules (SBVR)’s machine and human readability and platform independence make it potentially suitable and interesting to study, as a central semantic hub of different systems. Semantic heterogeneity can be ...
