SBVR — 10 Examples - applying a standard pattern in the "10 Examples"

  • Key: SBVR-26
  • Legacy Issue Number: 9450
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: ( Keri Healy)
  • Summary:

    Description:
    The "10 Example Rules" material makes use of some 'convenience concepts'**
    in several of the rules. A consistent approach needs to be applied for
    making vocabulary entries for these in SBVR-SE, and a discussion of that
    pattern should be added to Annex D.

    Actions needed:

    1) Using the "10 Examples" material, change as needed to apply a consistent
    approach to specifying this kind of vocabulary entry(s), which appear as
    cited vocabulary entries in the 'Supporting fact types' material of the "10
    Examples" (and from there into the EU-Rent Vocabulary (Annex E)).

    2) Add a section to the "Patterns" annex, describing this.

    3) Decide if an SBVR term is needed for what this issue terms a 'convenience
    concept'. If yes, agree to the term. If no, agree to a consistent, short
    characterization.

    **'convenience concept' is an interim term, selected to avoid
    conflict/confusion with overloaded terms in other discussions. Such a
    concept/term establishes an equivalency to other defined concepts to allow
    rules (and definitions) to be expressed in a less verbose manner. From the
    "10 Examples" this includes: business currency, drop-off branch, pick-up
    branch, rented car, requested car group, return branch, and some concepts
    from the EU-Rent common vocabulary for time periods and durations (e.g.,
    actual pick-up date-time).

  • Disposition Summary:

    2) Add a section to the "Patterns" annex, describing this.
    Note: At the June 2006 meeting it was decided that the new material would appear in a new (D.3) section of Annex D entitled "Defining a Fact Type for Convenience".
    3) Decide if an SBVR term is needed for what this issue terms a 'convenience concept'. If yes, agree to the term. If no, agree to a consistent, short characterization.
    **Note: This Issue originally used the interim term 'convenience concepts'; at the June 2006 meeting it was decided that the term 'short form expression' would be used in place of that initial terminology.
