Business rules define and constrain various aspects of the business, such as vocabulary, control-flow and organizational issues. Although the presence of many languages for expressing business rules that differ in expressivenes, knowledge representation mechanism and execution model, none of these cover all the necessary business aspects. In this paper, we show how business rules, not only vocabulary rules, but also control-flow rules and organizational rules can be expressed in SBVR and translated using patterns into a more uniform event mechanism, such that the event handling could provide an integrated enforcement of business rules of many kinds. As a proof of concept a prototype tool integrates this pattern mechanism and provides an execution environment in which these rules are enforced.
