File location

Until the work on the new syntax is finalised, the file that contains the work in progress version of the rules is provided here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cXsTgQcIcV-DFxNyP5lftLLNxEjeudJD?usp=sharing

Publication format

The AIXM Business Rules are provided in two formats:

  • as an XML file, which preserves the information about "templates", which are used in the definition of the majority of the rules. The XML format is intended to be used for automating the development of data validation services, which could generate code directly from the SBVR structured rules and templates

  • as a table, in Excel format. which is created by converting the original XML file into HTML and importing in Excel.

Note

In case of discrepancies between the XML and the Excel version, the XML version should be considered as the authoritative version.

XML file

The new XML export structure follows the schema defined in the AIXM-BR-SBVR.XSD file, which matches with the following structure:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AIXM-BR-SBVR xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" criteriaAIXMversion="5.1.1" criteriaProfile="eEAD:Warning, eEAD:Error" exportedAt="2023-07-31T12:56:35.834774Z" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="AIXM-BR-SBVR.xsd">

Tabular format

First, an XSL stylesheet is used to convert the AIXM-BR-SBVR.xml export file into a single HTML table, where templates are instantiated.

The transformation can also be done with a browser such as Internet Explorer, which is able to process the XSL styling information. For that purpose:

  1. copy the AIXM-BR-SBVR.xsl transformation file next to the AIXM-BR-SBVR.xml export file,
  2. open the AIXM-BR-SBVR.xml export file with Internet Explorer, or with any XSLT compatible tool (like an XML editor ).

Then, the HTML table was imported in Microsoft Word and then copied into Excel. Here, the file was sorted by AIXM Class, AIXM Attribute and AIXM Associations. In addition, filters have been defined for the various 'Profile' columns.

The result in the form of en Excel table looks like this:
