Metrology
Specification in draftingHow a thing is measured: the measure, its scale, its unit, and the formula that derives one measure from others. Grounded in SMM.
Specifications
Metamodels
Four metamodel families sit above the concepts: how a thing is measured, how it is named, what it is, and how it is composed.
Request accessScope first, specification second.
Each entry below states what its metamodel covers and where it stands. The specification text is published when it is written — this page will not stand in for it.
Lexicology
Specification in draftingHow a thing is named: lemma, surface form, part of speech, and the suffix that exposes what a name is. Grounded in TEI P5 and the SBVR vocabulary layer.
Ontology
Specification in draftingWhat a thing is: the continuant/occurrent split, the universal/particular split, and the relations between them. Grounded in BFO and MOF.
Morphology
Specification in draftingHow a thing is composed: morphemes, affixes, word forms, and the composition rules that build a valid designation from them.
