    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.
&lt;/p>
&lt;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).
&lt;/p>
&lt;p>
    Taking as an example a rule description like:
&lt;/p>
&lt;blockquote dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;>
    &lt;p>
        &lt;em>Ask for an audit if&amp;nbsp; one of the treatment includes an emergency room treatment or an ambulance transfer
        done on a day after the accident&lt;/em>.
    &lt;/p>
&lt;/blockquote>
&lt;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:
&lt;/p>
&lt;ul>
    &lt;li>
        &lt;div
        style=&quot;MARGIN-TOP: 4.32pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline; DIRECTION: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed; TEXT-ALIGN: left; language: en-US; mso-line-break-override: restrictions; punctuation-wrap: simple&quot;>
            A&amp;nbsp;car accident is declared in a claim
        &lt;/div>
    &lt;/li>
    &lt;li>
        &lt;div
        style=&quot;MARGIN-TOP: 4.32pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline; DIRECTION: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed; TEXT-ALIGN: left; language: en-US; mso-line-break-override: restrictions; punctuation-wrap: simple&quot;>
            Claim has a type, and a date of loss
        &lt;/div>
    &lt;/li>
    &lt;li>
        &lt;div
        style=&quot;MARGIN-TOP: 4.32pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline; DIRECTION: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed; TEXT-ALIGN: left; language: en-US; mso-line-break-override: restrictions; punctuation-wrap: simple&quot;>
            There&amp;nbsp;may be&amp;nbsp;some injuries,
        &lt;/div>
    &lt;/li>
    &lt;li>
        &lt;div
        style=&quot;MARGIN-TOP: 4.32pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline; DIRECTION: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed; TEXT-ALIGN: left; language: en-US; mso-line-break-override: restrictions; punctuation-wrap: simple&quot;>
            Medical treatments are done by medical providers
        &lt;/div>
    &lt;/li>
    &lt;li>
        &lt;div
        style=&quot;MARGIN-TOP: 4.32pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline; DIRECTION: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed; TEXT-ALIGN: left; language: en-US; mso-line-break-override: restrictions; punctuation-wrap: simple&quot;>
            The medical provider issues medical bill
        &lt;/div>
    &lt;/li>
    &lt;li>
        &lt;div
        style=&quot;MARGIN-TOP: 4.32pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline; DIRECTION: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed; TEXT-ALIGN: left; language: en-US; mso-line-break-override: restrictions; punctuation-wrap: simple&quot;>
            A medical bill includes the description of the medical treatment done on the patient
        &lt;/div>
    &lt;/li>
&lt;/ul>
&lt;p
style=&quot;MARGIN-TOP: 4.32pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline; DIRECTION: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed; TEXT-ALIGN: left; language: en-US; mso-line-break-override: restrictions; punctuation-wrap: simple&quot;>
    Insurance wants to verify the treatment done, and limit the payments on what is defined in the policy and the legal
    engagements.
&lt;/p>&lt;br
style=&quot;MARGIN-TOP: 4.32pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline; DIRECTION: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed; TEXT-ALIGN: left; language: en-US; mso-line-break-override: restrictions; punctuation-wrap: simple&quot; />

    &lt;span style=&quot;mso-bidi-language: HE&quot;>Later on in the project the facts have to be analyzed to understand how the
    software application will support it. It can be through implementing the logic, the GUI layout, structuring&amp;nbsp;the
    different&amp;nbsp;data models or just staying in documentation.&lt;/span>
