SBVR is an approach that enables people and organizations to treat business, legal, and educational knowledge in a productive way not seen before. SBVR combines the best aspects of logic, natural language, business rules, and conceptual modeling. I like to compare this transition in representation of knowledge to the transition from Roman numerals to decimal numbers. The change in representation brought about a huge increase in productivity.

Business knowledge can be described using:

a: structured business concepts catalogue,
b: an associated fact types catalogue, together with fact type readings, and
c: the associated (business) rules catalogue.
