PROV-ISSUE-87 (Model-concepts-formalism): Formalism used is not explained, not applied to concepts [Conceptual Model]

Raised by: Graham Klyne
On product: Conceptual Model

The "Abstract Syntax Notation" formalism used in the concepts document is not fully explained - only a syntax is given.  Yet, all the uses of the formalism are in examples: it is not (cannot be?) used to formally describe the actual concepts.  As such, it doesn't really seem to serve any useful purpose.  Or if it does, that purpose is not clear.
