SBVR11 — "characteristic type" should be a "category type"

  • Key: SBVR11-79
  • Legacy Issue Number: 12589
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: General Electric ( Mark Linehan)
  • Summary:

    Section 11.1.2.2 "Kinds of Characteristic" on page 136 says that
    "characteristic type" is "General Concept: concept type". I suggest that
    "General Concept: categorization type" would be more accurate.

    Given this proposal, in EU-Rent, making "branch type" a "characteristic
    type" would enable statements such as "if there exists a branch that is a
    city branch ...."

  • Disposition: Resolved — SBVR 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Correct the entries for categorization type and characteristic type to reflect that categorization type is a special kind of concept type, and characteristic type is a specialized kind of categorization type. Also, update the discussion in Annex D that explains/illustrates these concepts.
