Issue 16525: "Quantification" Needs to Be Renamed (sbvr-rtf) Source: Business Rules Group (Mr. Ronald G. Ross, rross(at)BRSolutions.com) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: Problem Statement: "Quantification" is currently defined in Clause 9.2.6 to be a logical formulation. This usage of the term is counterintuitive for several reasons. (1) Logical formulations are a way of structuring meaning particular to SBVR. (2) "Quantification" can be used to mean the 'process' of projecting, rather than the *result* of projection, as usually preferred in SBVR. (3) "Quantification" should be included in SBVR under its appropriate real-world meaning. Resolution: 1. Change each instance of "quantification"" in Clause 9.3 and elsewhere to "quantifying formulae" 2. Inspect every other instance of "quantification" in SBVR to determine whether it refers to "a quantifying formulae" or to the process of quantification ("quantifying ), and adjust accordingly. 3. Add a real-world concept definition for "quantification". (It needs to be determined where in SBVR this entry should be included.)
