SACM11 — Identifying nature of element contents

2. What is needed to be known by tool or human is information required to establish the meaning of its content (interpret it) for this the notation/means used to express contents needs to be identified. An associated property could do this ­ and with more power/flexibility as any notation could be identified. Among other things, one should not presume that multiple tool vendors would never chose to support a (mathematically) formal notation other than SBVR. The use of different element types to identify nature of contents as “informal” or “structured” would be overkill. Rather, rename/combine “Consistency,” “ IsExpressed InLanguage”or other element to NotationUsed and provide appropriate attributes.

Deferred as still valid for SACM

The extension and unification of language and vocabulary support in revision to SACM would require a substantial change that would significantly negatively impact backwards compatibility that is beyond what can be done in SACM 1.1.
