transformation of sbvr business design to uml models
This paper presents a methodology for transforming business designs written in OMG's standard Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Rules (SBVR) framework, into a set of UML models. It involves the transformation of business vocabulary and rules written in SBVR's "Structured English" into a set of UML diagrams, which includes Activity Diagram(AD), Sequence Diagram(SD), and Class Diagram(CD). This transformation works by detecting the distinction between rules which will participate in the construction of Activity Diagram and rules which do not. These rules are imperative in nature. The work in the paper also includes the detection of activities embedded implicitly in those rules and establishment of sequence between those activities. These activities incur some action. We also detect their owner and refer to them as the doer of the action. This plays a very important role in the development of Class Diagrams
