E.17.1:2 - Problem
When recurring viewpoint families lack a stable catalogue:
- Each domain invents local viewpoint families.
Similar families reappear under slightly different labels, but no stable catalogue
U.Epistemerecords whether the underlying viewpoints are actually the same. - Viewpoint identity drifts.
A family called
functional,capability, oroperationalmay differ only lexically, or may differ semantically, but there is no disciplined place to tell which is which. MultiViewDescribingcannot reuse a family cleanly. Each describing use that needs the family must restate it locally instead of importing an existing bundle.- Reusable viewpoint-library practice remains external. FPF lacks a native place where reusable viewpoint families can be expressed as reviewable catalogue content without importing a standard’s ontology.
- Reader-facing labels leak into semantics. Authors reuse the same name for viewpoints, views, publication faces, or folders, and the boundary between EntityOfConcern and Description episteme becomes unclear.
