Intelligent Conceptual Modeling in ORM2

The Object Role Modelling language (ORM2) is a conceptual modelling language similar to UML and ER, adopted by Visual Studio, the integrated development environment from Microsoft. ORM2 is at the core of the OGM standard SBVR language (Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules). The ORM Foundation is a major resource site for ORM as well as other fact-oriented modeling approaches.

Click on the ORM2 conceptual schema above to see our work on SBVR. The formalisation of ORM2 and its encoding in OWL2 collects our results on ORM2.
In the context of the ONTORULE Project (ONTOlogies meet business RULEs, 7th Framework Programme under the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Call 3 (ICT-231875):

We also implemented a prototype providing a backend for the automated support of consistency and entailment checks for ORM2 conceptual schemas. The tool is freely avalailable here.
