STARLab Object Role Modeling Markup Language (ORM-ML) Represents ORM Models in XML.
A research team at STARLab (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) has developed an Object Role Modeling markup language (ORM-ML) for representing ORM models in XML based syntax. Stylesheets convert this ORM-ML syntax into other syntaxes for processing by business rule engines. A verbalization style sheet for ORM-ML documents supports the expression of facts and the rules in pseudo natural language sentences for validation by domain specialists. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2002-09-30-a.html
