520			_aWriting Effective Business Rules moves beyond the fundamental dilemm a of system design: defining business rules either in natural language, intelligible but often ambiguous, or program code (or rule engine inst ructions), unambiguous but unintelligible to stakeholders. Designed to meet the needs of business analysts, this book provides an exhaustive a nalysis of rule types and a set of syntactic templates from which unamb iguous natural language rule statements of each type can be generated. A user guide to the SBVR [Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules] specification, it explains how to develop an appropriate busine ss vocabulary and generate quality rule statements using the appropriat e templates and terms from the vocabulary. The resulting rule statement s can be reviewed by business stakeholders for relevance and correctnes s, providing for a high level of confidence in their successful impleme ntation. A complete set of standard templates for rule statements and t heir component syntactic elements A rigorous approach to rule statement construction to avoid ambiguity and ensure consistency. A clear explan ation of the way in which a fact model provides and constrains the rule statement vocabulary A practical reader-friendly user guide to the tho se parts of the SBVR specification that are relevant to rule authoring- - \c Source other than Librray of Congress
