====== Features of the MVF Specification ====== The "major features" are extracted from the usage scenarios. The detailed features are extracted from the RFP. ===== Major Features ===== The MVF must specify: * an exchange representation for a business vocabulary independent of any model, preferably an existing standard or standards, or a subset thereof * a standard form for links between model elements and vocabulary entries. The vocabulary entries may be selected from a resource (somehow) attached to the model or from a separate resource. Ideally, the linkage should be an additional property for MOF:ModelElement. * a standard API for a Vocabulary Service, so that modeling tools can access vocabularies controlled by such services. Such a service may or may not expose a means of modifying the vocabulary it maintains. Controlled vocabularies may well involve an elaborate review process for modifications. ===== Detailed Features (from the RFP) ===== [to be copied] ===== Optional Features ===== TBD [[http://www.omgwiki.org/mvf-rfp/doku.php?id=start|home]]
