Integration Method of Business Vocabularies and Business Rules Specifications (Models)

Edvinas Sinkevicius, Rimantas Butleris

Abstract

Information system development starts from defining business vocabulary and rules. There are some cases when several business vocabularies and rules from the same domain must be used. Therefore there is a need to merge those business vocabularies and rules to make one and use it for development of a system. The research problem is that there is a need to use merged information from several business vocabularies and rules. Merging them could cause to occur conflicts between the elements from different sources. To our knowledge, the problem yet is not solved nor in the scientific literature nor in ptactical applications.
