SBVR12 — SBVR issue: Consolidate 2 entries for 'verb concept wording'

  • Key: SBVR12-103
  • Legacy Issue Number: 19360
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Trisotech ( Ms. Keri Anderson Healy)
  • Summary:

    In SBVR 1.2, there are 2 verb concept entries for the same meaning: “verb concept incorporating verb symbols”. This resulted from SBVR meaning and representation entries being arbitrarily separated into two clauses.
    It is clear from

    the “Note:” under ‘verb concept wording demonstrates designation’;
    the “See:” under ‘verb concept wording incorporates verb symbol’;
    the lack of a definition under ‘verb concept wording incorporates verb symbol’;
    the definition of verb symbol; and
    all the subentries of 'verb concept wording'
    that these are already intended to be the same meaning that is split across two clauses.

    In addition, the definition under ‘verb concept wording demonstrates designation’ is quite opaque and needs to be worded more like the Note.

    The verb concept wording ‘verb concept wording incorporates verb symbol’ most accurately gathers up the meaning and should therefore be the preferred verb concept wording.

  • Disposition: Resolved — SBVR 1.2
  • Disposition Summary:

    In the SBVR restructuring work these two entries now appear in the same sub-clause, where they should be combined into a single entry with a clarified definition as follows:
    verb concept wording incorporates verb symbol
    Definition: the verb concept wording shows a pattern of using the expression of the verb symbol plus expressions of the placeholders for each of the roles of the verb concept that has the verb concept wording
    Synonymous Form: verb symbol is incorporated into verb concept wording
    Synonymous Form: verb concept wording demonstrates designation
    Necessity: Each verb concept wording incorporates at most one verb symbol.
    Necessity: Each verb symbol is incorporated into at least one verb concept wording.
    Note: If a verb concept wording demonstrates a designation, the signifier of that designation is what is seen in the expression of the verb concept wording when placeholder expressions have been removed.
