Applying SBVR business vocabulary and business rules for creating BPMN process models

Abstract

Information system modelling starts from business vocabulary, the second step is business process modelling, which is closely related with modelling of business rules. Modelling of business rules and business processes should be considered as the complementary approaches based on business vocabulary. However, business vocabularies still are not used in CASE tools. The goal of the paper is to present the principles how the business vocabulary can be used for modelling business processes and business rules in such a way that it would be possible to transform business process models to business rules for validating business process by domain experts. In order to achieve this goal we present requirements for defining business processes in line with business vocabularies, which allow transforming business process models to business rules without linguistic processing techniques.
