Stan,

 

 

"Sjir, by saying, "examples starting in the world of the reader" it sounds
like you may be suggesting some use cases be developed, and that we proceed
with a model-driven approach to the specification and design of the mdt-sbvr
deliverables. Do you have a frameword and methodology in mind, that would be
understandable and useful to persons who want to learn and use SBVR?"

Indeed Stan, I am saying use a model-driven approach. If you use SBVR, practice what SBVR preaches.

 

Yes, we are using a framework and methodology to make persons understand how to do this. It goes back a few years.

In the mid nineties there was a need in the Netherlands to teach in three undergraduate computer science classes the mappings between the various ER dialects "including" UML. It turned out that students had little trouble understanding that these various notations were special cases of a common semantic deep structure. An important concept is that there are at least two very different notations used to represent a fact instance. In SBVR terms there is an ER semantic community with many speech communities each having their favourite diagram technique. It is the mapping between this semantic community and the body of shared meanings of the SBVR semantic community that is crucial.

It is the underlying semantics that is of interest. Once we could teach the deep semantics, using declarative techniques, students could be introduced in all these speech community notations in a very straight forward way. 

The approach is based on a very limited set of axioms but these axioms are sometimes difficult to accept by certain communities.

 

Kind regards

 

Sjir

[Stan Fri, 4 Apr 2008 21:20:34 -0700 ] Ability to convert between SBVR
representations and OWL or UML forms will greatly
magnify the usefulness of all of them. [Sjir (2008-04-05-1809 AMS time:
Indeed, let us explain this, based on a solid framework and methodology and
using intuitive yet significant examples starting in the world of the reader
and that is - for the vast majority of persons who want to learn SBVR -not
the generic conceptual schema.]


Sjir, by saying, "examples starting in the world of the reader" it sounds
like you may be suggesting some use cases be developed, and that we proceed
with a model-driven approach to the specification and design of the mdt-sbvr
deliverables. Do you have a frameword and methodology in mind, that would be
understandable and useful to persons who want to learn and use SBVR?
