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

  • Summary:

    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.
