Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rule (SBVR) were introduced to describe the business process in most formal way. SBVR specify business rules. Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules is introduced by standard of Object Management Group (OMG) in 2008. Complex business rules are formally defined by Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules (SBVR). This paper provides a novel approach for translating SBVR specification of software requirements into XML schema. The purpose of this paper is to generate XML from SBVR instead of NL natural language specification because due to informal nature of natural language the generation of XML form NL will be resulted in lesser accuracy. SBVR Bridge the gap between humans and machines as human can understand simple natural language sentences while this natural language has ambiguous nature for machine and IT specialists. The VeTIS tool is used for the transformation purpose. SBVR rules generated as first output and these rules gave as input to transaction editor that extract SBVR vocabulary such as noun concept, fact type etc. In the last step these SBVR elements are replaced by elements that are called tags of XML vocabulary.
