Abstract

This paper describes "dynamic business entities", ontological classes that dynamically acquire and lose properties and relationships as a function of other aspects of the entities. Specifically, we propose how acquisition and loss instructions for such transient properties may be inherent in the definition of the entities possessing them. We use SBVR to demonstrate the specification of dynamic business entities showing how our idea could be applied in practice. We illustrate with an example drawn from the Flanders Research Information Space.
