  • QUOTE: Fact-oriented Modeling [3], [4], [7] is an technique that assists with the conceptual modeling of an IT Solution. The approach however has not yet been fully incorporated into software requirement specification standards [8], [9], [10], [12], [13], [14], [2]. With the introduction of such standards as Structured Business Vocabulary and Rules (SBVR) [5], [7] it is now possible to consistently employ Fact-oriented Modeling in the delivery of enterprise solutions.
