Issue 17068: Simplification of presentation of Annex E (sbvr-rtf) Source: Rule ML Initiative (Mr. John Hall, john.hall(at)modelsystems.co.uk) Nature: Revision Severity: Significant Summary: The value of a comprehensive and coherent SBVR example seems to be generally accepted, but there have been some concerns expressed about the size and complexity of the EU-Rent example (Annex E). Section E.2.2.1.1 Car Movement is a particular problem. It is presented first in the detail of EU-Rent‘s vocabulary but is quite complex. It introduces the idea of ‘car movement’, a component that is used in two different contexts ­ as part of the definition of a rental, and as part of the definition of a logistical car movement made by a EU-Rent employee. Annex E could be made more digestible, without substantially changing its content, by: 1) Presenting the sections in a different sequence, with sections that introduce simpler ideas presented earlier. 2) Presenting ‘car movement’ in a simpler form This issue can be resolved alongside Issue 10628: Align Annex E with the normative text. To avoid delay in updating the SBVR specification, updating EU-Rent to comply with the SBVR Date-Time Vocabulary is outside the scope of this issue, and will be addressed later.
