SBVR11 — example definitions (of "Australian")

  • Key: SBVR11-119
  • Legacy Issue Number: 15951
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Ajilon ( Graham Witt)
  • Summary:

    “Each FemaleAustralian is a Person who was born in Country ‘Australia’ and has Gender ‘Female’” (section 10.1.1.2) and “Each Australian is a Person who was born in Country ‘AU’” (section 10.1.1.7) fly in the face of the meaning of citizenship: I was born in the UK but am an Australian, having taken out Australian citizenship, whereas Rupert Murdoch was born in Australia but is not an Australian, having renounced his Australian citizenship as a prerequisite of taking US citizenship. By the way these rules use a non-standard typography.

  • Disposition: Resolved — SBVR 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Change the examples from using "born in" to being "a citizen of". By the way the typography is different but not "non-standard" — it uses ORM conventions (as explained in Annex I).
