: This comment relates to the sentence “Evidence arguments are reused as opposed to subject domain claims and arguments, which are specific to each domain.” The term “subject claim” has been defined, but not the term “subject domain claim”. Suggest removing the word “domain” in this context.

In the simplest form, evidence consists of a collection of documents that provide
evidentiary support to a set of claims. These claims are called subject claims, as the are
made by an argument related to some selected subject area. We will differentiate subject
claims from evidence claims, which are claims about the evidence items that help
establish the exact nature of the evidentiary support they provide to subject claims in a
crea, comprehensive and defensible way. Evidence arguments are reused as opposed to
subject domain claims and arguments, which are specific to each subject domain. The
evidence vocabulary describes claims made about evidence. Evidence vocabulary is
reused in every argument for various diverse domains.

opposed to subject claims and arguments, which are specific to each subject area for
which the assurance case is developed. Thus the SACM Evidence Metamodel defines the
evidence vocabulary that is used over and over again to make assertions about evidence.
