We have designed and implemented the automatic trigger generation component. Using the representative example from the real business organization (the representative example was comprised of structural domain knowledge and corresponding business rules) we have carried out the experiment during which the business rules model was transformed from visual notation to CGIF, then from CGIF to XML, and then from XML to MS SQL Server trigger.
