SESSION TITLE

SBVR Distilled (Part 2): Essence of Business Vocabulary

SPEAKER(s):

Keri Anderson Healy Editor BRCommunity.com

MAIN FOCUS OF PRESENTATION: Business

FAMILIARITY WITH SUBJECT: None

ABOUT THIS SESSION:

In December 2007, the OMG published “Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules” (SBVR 1.0), a groundbreaking new standard. In this session we continue the quest to demystify SBVR, examining what ‘business vocabulary’ means in SBVR ... just enough vocabulary for the business rule approach. What you will learn:

• What are the keys of SBVR’s approach to business vocabulary?
• How can SBVR be applied to practical business scenarios?
• What is the state of SBVR practice, including some free (and nearly-free) offerings?
