DTV12 — DTV 1.1 Issue: Errors in Clause 4

DTV 1.1 clause 4 has several errors:

1. “set includes thing”, “set has element” and “thing is in set” are listed as separate concepts. In SBVR, the first two are synonymous forms of the third.

2. “intensional definition” is misspelled “intentional definition”.

3. Many of the glossary entries have leading underscores – a minor typo.

4. The only definition given for each concept is “

”, which is not described anywhere. At least the generalization relationships among the clause 4 concepts should be captured since these relationships affect the meaning of the DTV terms that use them. Furthermore, the lack of these generalization relationships impacts the translation of DTV to OWL. Recommend adding “General Concept:” captions to the following: Concept General Concept

Issue 19463 rewrites Clause 4 to change the form to an ISO style, as opposed to an SBVR vocabulary. The list of additional terms above is incorporated in that revision.
