Re: use of the term 'violated' in the context of a Obligation. [formal-semantics]

Here the context is more aligned with the formal definitions. 

 

E.g. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-deontic/

 

Obligations can be violated, and impermissible things do happen.[15]

 

Also dictionaries online:

 
to act against (a law, principle, promise, agreement, instruction, etc.); break, transgress, or fail to honor
to break, disregard, or infringe (a law, agreement, etc)

[Ref] https://w3c.github.io/odrl/formal-semantics/#sematics-of-obligation

 

The term 'violation' is generally used to mean 

'something has been done when it was prohibited'.

 

Considering this we see that the term 'violated' is more suited in the 

context of a Prohibition than an Obligation.

 

'Fulfilled' and 'Not Fulfilled' are more suited for an Obligation.

 

The usage of the term 'violated' and 'not violated' in the context of

an Obligation seems 'discordant'.

 

Please forgive me for the liberty taken in making this observation.
