 Vocabulary semantics defines meaning through governed vocabularies, business terms, term relationships, usage constraints, preferred terms, deprecated terms, controlled values, and domain-specific naming conventions.
-A vocabulary expresses semantic content when it identifies the terms a community uses, defines the meanings of those terms, relates terms to one another, and constrains how those terms appear in models, schemas, reports, rules, policies, APIs, messages, ontologies, and implementation artefacts.

 Vocabulary semantics differs from terminological semantics. Terminological semantics focuses on terms, definitions, designations, sources, notes, examples, and usage constraints. Vocabulary semantics focuses on the governed set of terms and relationships that a community uses to express meaning across work products.

-Vocabulary semantics does not define all [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:s:semantic|semantics]] of a domain. Vocabulary semantics governs the terms and term relationships used to express meaning.

 A vocabulary without governance creates semantic risk. Different teams can use the same term for different meanings, different terms for the same meaning, or uncontrolled values that break interoperability.
