BRG Responds to the Business Semantics of Business Rules RFP |
In June 2003, the OMG's Business Enterprise Integration Task Force recommended, and the Domain Technical Committee issued, the Business Semantics of Business Rules (BSBR) RFP. The objective of this RFP is to support modeling of business rules by business people in business language -- natural language, common graphics, and tables. The key deliverables of the BSBR RFP are:

The Business Rules Group joined one of the submitter groups to prepare a response to the BSBR RFP, the group known as the 'Business Rules Team' (BRT). Other partners in the BRT include: Neumont University (formerly, Northface University), Unisys Corporation, Business Rule Solutions LLP, KnowGravity, LibRT, and Business Semantics Ltd. The team members bring an impressive breadth of expertise to this collaboration -- logicians, linguists, and seasoned business rule practitioners.
The Business Rules Group worked as an active member of the Business Rules Team, which submitted revised submissions to the RFP throughout 2004 and 2005. In September 2005, the final submission, entitled Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules (SBVR), was accepted to move into the finalization stage of the OMG's standards adoption process.
The BRT's September 2005 submission is available to OMG members at http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?bei/2005-08-01
