SBVR11 — Definitions in subsection 11.1.5

  • Key: SBVR11-85
  • Legacy Issue Number: 13716
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Trisotech ( Mr. Ron Ross)
  • Summary:

    A number of the definitions in this subsection are incomprehensible, and not well integrated with the rest of the SBVR vocabulary. These definitions center on: assortment fact type, categorization fact type, is-role-of fact type, and is-facet-of fact type. Also, these concepts are defined as kinds of "fact types", but should actually be defined as kinds of facts. Finally, the order of the entries needs adjustment as a result of the above.

  • Disposition: Resolved — SBVR 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    The four items being changed from kinds of 'fact type' to kinds of 'fact' ('proposition') under this proposal were always intended to characterize 'fact', but since these are meta-facts (having the appearance of fact types) people mistook them for fact types and wrote them up as such. This proposal corrects that error. In summary, this proposal:
    • Makes the necessary changes to correct the entries for assortment fact type, categorization fact type, is-role-of fact type, and is-facet-of fact type from being specified as 'fact type' to 'fact' (kinds of 'proposition').
    • Fills a gap in the Scheme by adding two categories that had inadvertantly been left out ('characteristic' and 'characterization').
    • Adds a fact type to relate 'facet' to 'concept' (in parallel to what is in place to relate 'role' to 'concept')
    • Makes minor styling corrections throughout 11.1.5, in particular in the Examples.
