Formal Languages and
Standards
SBVR (Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules ) has been
adopted by DBE as Business Modelling Language. In future evolutions a
synergy with OMG's ODM approach will be implemented. The DBE goal is to
enable small and medium sized enterprises to register their business and
product offerings and conduct business over the Internet. SBVR is expected
to allow SMEs to express their business in the natural language, making
a significant contribution to the interaction capability of the digital
ecosystems.
The OMG Business Enterprise Integration Domain Task Force and Architecture
Board approved SBVR to become a final adopted specification of the OMG.
First running prototype of the SBVR Editor for the Business Semantics
of Business Rules (BSBR).
