I got an update on the Oracle Business Rules product recently. Oracle is an interesting company - they have the components of decision management but do not yet have them under a single umbrella. For instance, they have in-database data mining (blogged about here), the Real Time Decisions (RTD) engine, event processing rules and so on. Anyway, this update was on business rules.
business processes and business rules capturing the operational logic and decisioning logic respectively.
To study this analysis, we first need to understand theory which is the basis of their analysis i.e. BWW. Representational analysis is basically comparing constructs of representation theory with the constructs of the modeling grammar. The two evaluation criteria used are ontological completeness which determines the extent of lack of constructs in modeling grammar and ontological clarity. Now BWW is the representational theory to represent real world and has been earlier used to benchmark many languages. SRML and SBVR are compared to BWW to benchmark their representational power.
