Embodiment Construction

[0044] It will be understood that, for simplicity and clarity of illustration, elements shown in the figures have not necessarily been drawn to scale. For example, the dimensions of some of the elements may be exaggerated relative to other elements for clarity. Further, where considered appropriate, reference numerals may be repeated among the figures to indicate corresponding or analogous features.

[0045] In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are given in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present aspect may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the present invention.

[0046] Methods and systems are provided for analyzing usage patterns of a unique Business Object Model (BOM) language expression, including which attrib...

Abstract

A method and system for refining hierarchies in object-oriented models which comprise i) providing a business object model in the form of an object-oriented model having one or more members with multiple distinct verbalizations (synonyms); ii) identifying distinct verbalizations of a given business object model member; iii) reviewing existing rules of the business object model to produce mappings of the distinct verbalizations and any attributes or operations used in conjunction with the distinct verbalizations of members of the business object model; iv) analyzing the mappings to identify patterns of use of the distinct verbalizations; and vi) categorising a distinct verbalization as a superclass or subclass.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of business rule management systems. In particular, the present invention relates to refining hierarchies in an object-oriented model of a business rules management system. Background technique [0002] A Business Rules Management System (BRMS) uses a Business Object Model (BOM) to define the underlying structure of the business objects on which rules are executed. The BOM may contain verbalization information, which is used by rule authoring systems (eg, ILOG Intellirule (ILOG and Intellirule are trademarks of International Business Machines Corporation)) to allow the construction of natural language business rules. [0003] For example: [0004] BOM name: customer; [0005] Language expressions: "the customer", "the customer", "the multiple customers". [0006] One of the advantages of verbalizing BOM members in this way (and allowing users to define their own linguistic expressions) is that it allows BOM member...
