Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules (SBVR), an OMG standard, provides a meta-model for the semantic and declarative models of business vocabulary and business rules. Logical formulation of SBVR facilitates IT people to interpret these models generated by business people. However, an important aspect of a business is process model, and it is outside the scope of SBVR. Knowledge intensive and dynamic nature of business processes require such a declarative meta-model for process modeling in order to provide flexibility and adaptability. In this work, an approach for process modeling using SBVR's methodology is proposed. We have made an initial attempt to define a declarative meta-model, Semantics of Business Process Vocabulary and Process Rules (SBPVR). SBPVR divides knowledge of business processes into three parts; process concept types, process fact types and process rules. Process concept types and fact types represent structure of processes and process rules provide guidance over the structure and flow of processes at execution time. In the paper, these types are further categorized to represent the various elements of process models. SBPVR provides flexibility and adaptability to the process model through its declarative nature and fact oriented approach.
