ABOUT THIS SESSION:

In December 2007, the OMG published “Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules” (SBVR 1.0), a groundbreaking new standard. However, at over 400 pages it is not a book to curl up with for a weekend of light reading! Are you a business rule practitioner looking for where to begin? This session demystifies what SBVR means by ‘business rules’, getting to the heart of what SBVR is all about and showing how you can to put it work for you. What you will learn:

• What are the keys of SBVR’s approach to business rules?

• What is the state of SBVR practice, including some free (and nearly-free) offerings?
