Our latest updates
What's new in the 2024 summer release
The 2024 Summer release brings various improvements and other noteworthy updates, helping you transform regulations into compliant applications faster, easier, and more agile.
Be Informed Workbench
Improved support for business analysis in the Workbench
This release introduces a broader range of business analysis languages in the Workbench. We are delighted to announce that norm engineers are now able to interpret the relevant sources of norms, with help of the High level requirements and Business scenarios DSLs (Domain Specific Languages). These languages can be used during annotation and modeling activities, next to the already available FLINT language.
Improved the exchange of models between the Be Informed products
This release of the Be Informed platform contains another major step in creating an open infrastructure for model exchange. Since the 2024 Spring release it was already possible to export the FLINT interpretations from the Be Informed Workbench and import it as bundles in both all our other products (BMS, AMS, Runtime and Documentation Portal). This is now also possible with the business design and the product rules modeled in BMS.
Share and curate the business design in the Documentation Portal
While the initial release of the Documentation Portal only supported FLINT models, this release introduces sharing and curation of other business analysis and design models.
Often the business design remains hidden in the Be Informed Studios, although it is an excellent format to share your progress and thinking to a broader audience and collect their feedback. The Documentation Portal can publish the business analysis and design models as an online catalog. Further, it ensures the accuracy and completeness of the interpretations and design, and maximizes the usefulness of the knowledge captured through the Workbench and the Business Modeling Studio. If enabled, users of the Documentation Portal can provide feedback easily by creating issue tickets that can be resolved by the solution team.
Other noteworthy
Support for USLM 2.0
From now on, it is possible to import USLM (United States Legislative Markup) sources in the Workbench.
We support the following USLM document types:
- A ‘pLaw’ (public or private law). This is a document containing an approved bill, whether public or private.
- A ‘statute’. This is a document containing an enacted bill.
- A ‘statuteCompilation’. This is a document containing a statute compilation; these are compilations of public laws that incorporate the amendments made to the underlying statute since it was originally enacted.
USLM is an open standard that the US government plans to use as a default.
A new beimodel.json format for exchanging models
To allow an easy exchange of models between the Be Informed components and other products, we have added the support for a open model format based on JSON. This format can be used to exchange models in an easily readable format when no open standard exists for a given DSL. Because of the simplicity of this model format, this format can also be easily generated by scripts.
Bug fixes and smaller improvements
