There are compliance points that might apply to either, but there are also compliance points that apply only to modeling tools or only to vocabulary management tools. text/html 2017-08-18T14:49:38-04:00 https://www.omgwiki.org/mvf-rfp/doku.php?id=mvf:coreconcepts&rev=1503082178&do=diff Core Concepts Fred originally proposed a model. This is a reorganization of the “distribution” of the concepts. [Core Concepts] MVF Dictionary is a collection (by reference, or possibly inclusion) of Vocabularies, and the container of a set of MVF Entries, each of which represents a concept that is common to 1 or more of the Vocabularies. text/html 2017-10-20T18:36:15-04:00 https://www.omgwiki.org/mvf-rfp/doku.php?id=mvf:draftsubmission&rev=1508538975&do=diff Draft Submission [ Draft Initial Submission (Libre Office) ] - revised 10/20/2017 [ Draft Initial Submission (MS Word) ] [ Draft Initial Submission (pdf) ] Submission templates [ Section 0 template] Outline text/html 2019-08-23T13:57:01-04:00 https://www.omgwiki.org/mvf-rfp/doku.php?id=mvf:extending_a_vocabulary_for_a_canonical_model&rev=1566583021&do=diff Extending a vocabulary for a revision of a canonical model In this use case, a community has developed a “canonical data model” that provides a reference format as a basis for sharing data between partners or applications.

Some "concept" object? Multiple terms/entries in different vocabularies? We agreed that a model element links to an undefined object called an "MVF Entry".
