Structured language, based on Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules (SBVR), can be seen as domain expert friendly means for developing OWL2 ontologies, which are becoming more and more important in Semantic Web and Enterprise applications. The goal of the paper is to present transformations from SBVR specifications to ontologies and to describe conditions for creating “right” vocabularies in order to obtain consistent ontologies without losing information. The need for such approach is caused by several reasons. Concept models rely on the closed world assumption, whereas ontologies rely on the open one where every constraint should be explicitly specified. Both SBVR and OWL2 have terminology related part, desirable being separated from the substantial ontology. We suggest rules that can help creating meaningful SBVR vocabularies regarding consequences of affecting the behavior of ontology reasoners, taking advantages of ontologies and retaining terminological information separately from the main ontology.
