 +===== Terms and assumptions =====
 +  * The Model Dictionary is the MVFDictionary linking elements in the canonical model with Terms and Definitions to display for its model elements.
 +  * A Model Vocabulary contains the Terms and Definitions used for the Model Dictionary and edited by the community maintaining the model.
 +  * Domain Vocabularies are resources imported from some machine readable form to provide reference terms and definitions for domain concepts relevant to the model.  ​

 +//Depending on the design of the MVF metamodel, a Model Vocabulary may be a separate information artifact or just a view of various other vocabularies referenced by the MVF Dictionary.//​
