SBVR12 — The SBVR document is far larger than optimal. It needs to be reduced in size

The SBVR document is far larger than optimal. It needs to be reduced in size. Many of the Annexes do not contribute directly to core content.

Resolution

Delete Annexes that are not essential to the SBVR specification. Evaluation of the Annexes:

Annexes essential to the correct interpretation of the normative specification and that must be kept:
Annex C - SBVR Structured English
Annex E - EU-Rent Example
Annex H - Use of UML Notation in a Business Context to Represent SBVR-Style Vocabularies
Annex M - Additional References
Annexes that are not essential and can be deleted. Their owners can choose whether to publish them independently:
Annex F - The RuleSpeak® Business Rule Notation*
Annex G - Concept Diagram Graphic Notation
Annex I - The ORM Notation for Verbalizing Facts and Business Rules*
Annex J - ORM Examples Related to the Logical Foundations for SBVR
Annex L - A Conceptual Overview of SBVR and the NIAM2007 Procedure to Specify a Conceptual Schema
The SBVR RTF should decide on a case by case basis whether the following Annexes are essential to the correct interpretation of the normative clauses or can be deleted:
Annex A - Overview of the Approach
Annex B - The Business Rules Approach
Annex D - SBVR Structured English Patterns
Annex K - Mappings and Relationships to Other Initiatives
*To be discussed by the RTF: Since (a) SBVR-SE is not normative, and (b) RuleSpeak and ORM (Norma) served as reference notations in creating the specification, it might be useful to illustrate parts or all of Annexes C and/or E, and/or examples given in the specification itself, in these other two notations. Annexes F and I already did something like this, but (a) are much too large, (b) not well-focused on complementing SBVR, and (c) may need to be revised.
