-A Declarative Description states a required result, selected inputs, relationships, constraints, or conditions without prescribing every procedural step used to realise them.
+A Declarative Description states a required result, selected inputs, relationships, constraints, or conditions without prescribing every procedural step used to realize them.
 A processing system interprets the description and determines the operations required to produce, verify, or maintain the stated result.
-A Declarative Description may contain structured declarations, references, parameters, dependencies, precedence rules, and validation constraints. Its declarative nature concerns the separation between the stated result and the detailed procedure used to realise that result.
