  abstract =     "Business language analysis grows out of a philosophy
                 that treats business organizations as living systems. A
                 key concern is the meaning of business information that
                 provides adaptive survival advantage and strategic
                 leverage. Popular object-oriented methodologies
                 correctly recognize the need to identify business
                 objects by analyzing the problem domain. The approach
                 described in this paper fills in the details that are
                 implied, but not specified by other methods. It builds
                 a business language model that clarifies both the
                 content and structure of the terminology actually used
                 in the business. Simple examples of business language
                 analyses are given. Deeper insight is offered in a
                 discussion of lexical semantic and category theory and
                 in the proposed notion of business language patterns.",
