Here's another attempt:

------------------

A [Definition:]  Term is either an element declaration, a wildcard or a model
group. All ·Terms· are themselves ·Annotated Components·. [Definition:]  A
basic term is an Element Declaration or a Wildcard. 

A particle is a concept in the grammar for element content, consisting of a
Term, together with occurrence constraints. Particles contribute to
·validation· as part of complex type definition ·validation·, when they allow
anywhere from zero to many element information items or sequences thereof,
depending on their contents and occurrence constraints.

[Definition:]  A basic particle is a Particle whose {term} is a ·basic term·.

-----------------

Also, should particles have a definitions?  i.e. should the second sentence
start as:

A [Definition:] particle is a concept in the grammar
