 |
| A term may describe business concept as defined by the business. So a term is related to the language of the people
 |
| within the company. A term used in one group may differ in its meaning within another group. Term in SBVR is a concept
 |
| and can be declined as noun concept or verb concept.Term represents a unit of knowledge with a unique combination of
 |
| characteristics. In Object Oriented Analysis we will map to a Class.
 |
| </p>
 |
| <p>
 |
| Fact is a combination of terms that describes what business people know about their business. Fact may describe the
 |
| relationship between terms, like an Insurance Policy is a form of Contract, or it may describe the interactions between
 |
| terms (collaboration).
 |

 |
| <p>
 |
| Taking as an example a rule description like:
 |
| </p>
 |
| <blockquote dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
 |
| <p>
 |
| <em>Ask for an audit if&nbsp; one of the treatment includes an emergency room treatment or an ambulance transfer
 |
| done on a day after the accident</em>.
 |
| </p>
 |
| </blockquote>
 |
| <p>
 |
| The analysis team can extract the following business terms: audit, treatment, emergency room, ambulance transfer, day
 |
| of accident, accident. Discussing with a claim processor we can extract the following facts:
