Section 5: Semantic Infrastructure Functional Requirements
In the paragraph after the bullets it says, "CBIIT has also adopted a formal approach, ECCF…" But, let's be clear, SAIF and ECCF are still being actively developed. So, really CBIIT is collaboratively defining a formal approach.

Section 5 > Artifact Management > Types of Artifacts > Static Models
This section has many problems. HL7 MIF, UML and 11179 are not Information models. They are metamodels. That is, they provide a vocabulary for expressing other models. HL7 RIM, BRIDG, and LS-DAM are not metamodels. Instead, they can (with proper transformation to formal representation) be used as upper ontologies which constrain the semantics of lower-level ontologies. OWL and RDF are knowledge representation languages. They both have multiple serializations (syntactic models).

Section 5 > Artifact Management > Types of Artifacts > Behavioral Models
One has to be careful here what to call the "behavior of services". As indicated in, e.g., the HL7 Behavioral Framework (by John Koisch), behavior is "A collection of interactions with a set of constraints on when they can occur in a given Working Interoperability /business process context". In other words writing something like "Behavior of services provides an unambiguous definition of the service constraints, capabilities, dependencies, and interactions" is vague and probably not in-line with the SAIF. For example, capabilities of services indicate what the service does, not how it does it (the behavior).

Listing "Orchestration and Workflows", as well as "Business Rules" under Dynamic Models is too vague compared to the approach under static models where technologies such as OWL etc are explicitly mentioned. What kind of Business Rules, what kind of orchestration and workflows? What are the technologies?
