Abstract: Business rules are defined, specified and validated by business experts but they are designed and implemented by technical implementers. Each of them uses languages adapted to their activity and skill. Verbalization of business rules permits to business experts to get a semi-natural expression of rules designed by technical implementers thus facilitating their task of validation. A transformation tool is proposed to automate verbalization and applied to OCL (Object Constraint Language) constraints in the Utility domain.
