SBVR11 — SBVR - Error in MeaningAndRepresentation-Model.xml

Line 58 of the MeaningAndRepresentation-Model.xml file reads as follows:

<ownedMember xmi:type="cmof:Class" name="object type" xmi:id="objectType" superClass="concept"/>

The "superClass" attribute says that an Object Type is a kind of "Concept". This is inconsistent with clause 8.1.1, which defines 'Object Type' as a kind of 'Noun Concept'. This inconsistency causes problems (for example) when populating the "nounConcept=" attribute of the XMI tag <sbvr:closedProjectionDefinesNounConcept> because only a nounConcept can be referenced by this attribute, and an objectType is not a kind of NounConcept.

Proposed resolution:

Change line 58 of the MeaningAndRepresentation-Model.xml file to read:

<ownedMember xmi:type="cmof:Class" name="object type" xmi:id="objectType" superClass="nounConcept"/>
--------------------------------

Correct the XML file to match the normative text
