[Verse 1]
Back in two thousand eight the standard came alive
SBVR was born to help business rules survive
OMG published what the world had been waiting for
Structured English that machines could understand and more
Business stakeholders speaking in their natural tongue
While computers parse the logic that gets sung
[Chorus]
SBVR makes the business speak
Bold terms and verbs that aren't so weak
Obligatory, necessary, possible too
Deontic keywords telling us what we must do
Vocabulary controlled and rules defined
Business logic structured for the human mind
[Verse 2]
Two components working hand in hand today
Vocabulary first shows us the proper way
Controlled dictionary with terms precise and clear
Definitions and relationships that all can hear
Then rule types follow using words we've defined
Structural facts and operative combined
[Chorus]
SBVR makes the business speak
Bold terms and verbs that aren't so weak
Obligatory, necessary, possible too
Deontic keywords telling us what we must do
Vocabulary controlled and rules defined
Business logic structured for the human mind
[Bridge]
Four fonts to remember, each one has its place
Terms in bold for noun concepts we embrace
Names in italic underscore for individuals
Verbs in bold for fact types and their principles
Keywords mark the logic, deontic operators shine
Making business readable while keeping it machine
[Verse 3]
User access request needs approval from the start
Access owner must agree before we play our part
Before the access is provisioned, rules must be obeyed
Each sentence tells a story in the structured way it's made
Business people read it, computers understand
SBVR bridges both worlds with its guiding hand
[Chorus]
SBVR makes the business speak
Bold terms and verbs that aren't so weak
Obligatory, necessary, possible too
Deontic keywords telling us what we must do
Vocabulary controlled and rules defined
Business logic structured for the human mind
[Outro]
Revised in twenty nineteen, the standard grew more strong
SBVR keeps evolving, singing business logic's song
