Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: SBVR currently has multiple concepts for organizing vocabularies and rules:


      * conceptual schema (clause 8.5)
      * fact model (8.5)
      * body of shared meanings (11.1.1)
      * body of shared concepts (11.1.1)
      * terminological dictionary (11.1.1)
      * vocabulary (11.1.1)
      * rulebook (11.2.2.4)


Some issues:


1) Clause 8 does not include the concepts needed to represent itself, even
though clause 2 says clause 8 is a standalone compliance point.  Clause 8
claims to be a vocabulary, but the concept "vocabulary" is in clause 11,
not clause 8.  Hence an implementation of clause 8 cannot model clause 8
itself.

Clause 8 does not include the concepts needed to represent itself

SBVR currently has multiple concepts for organizing vocabularies and rules:


      * conceptual schema (clause 8.5)
      * fact model (8.5)
      * body of shared meanings (11.1.1)
      * body of shared concepts (11.1.1)
      * terminological dictionary (11.1.1)
      * vocabulary (11.1.1)
      * rulebook (11.2.2.4)


Some issues:


1) Clause 8 does not include the concepts needed to represent itself, even
though clause 2 says clause 8 is a standalone compliance point.  Clause 8
claims to be a vocabulary, but the concept "vocabulary" is in clause 11,
not clause 8.  Hence an implementation of clause 8 cannot model clause 8
