===== Discussion =====

A Semantic Business Vocabulary Model (SBVM) defines the business terms, meanings, relationships, and usage constraints that govern a domain vocabulary. It provides a structured vocabulary foundation for business rules, schemas, models, reports, interfaces, and implementation artifacts.

An [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:s:sbvm|SBVM]] focuses on vocabulary meaning rather than ontology technology. It aligns business terminology with [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:s:semantic|semantics]], [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:fibo|FIBO]], controlled vocabularies, glossaries, taxonomies, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conceptual_model|conceptual models]], schemas, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:o:ontology|ontologies]], and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:o:ontology_language|ontology languages]].

In DIDO Solutions work, an SBVM bridges human-readable terminology and formal semantic artifacts. It preserves [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|traceability]] from business terms to rules, reports, schemas, models, interfaces, and implementation artifacts.

===== Definition =====

//structured model of business terms, meanings, relationships, and usage constraints within a defined domain//

===== Source =====

DIDO Solutions usage, informed by terminology practice, semantic modeling practice, and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:fibo|FIBO]] usage in financial-domain semantic alignment.

===== Note =====

SBVM identifies a DIDO-local vocabulary model concept. An SBVM defines vocabulary meaning before an architecture expresses selected content in schemas, ontologies, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:o:owl|OWL]], or other implementation artifacts.

===== Example =====

An FX SBVM defines ''trade'', ''counterparty'', ''settlement date'', ''currency pair'', and ''notional amount'', together with the relationships and usage constraints that distinguish those business terms.
