Abstract
The fact-based approach (NIAM, ORM, FCO-IM, CogNIAM) provides modeling constructs for the data- and process-oriented perspectives for domain business rules for ERP requirements determination. The event perspective in business rule modeling has been given less emphasis in the fact-based research community. In this paper we will define a number of modeling constructs that allow us to model ‘event-perspective’ business rule semantics in a declarative way that builds on the existing fact-based modeling constructs for business rules in the data and process perspectives.

It is sufficient to only denote the object type in the event argument. The accompanying naming convention for the object type is captured in the fact-based information diagram (see Fig. 2 for this example).
