      Wouldn't it be clearer to say: These are labels for JSON values for the transmission of cybersecurity messages? The values of the labels are not defined but should fall within the semantic field of the label. 

      Ex. Seeking donaldhacker@2600PennDC should be labeled as a query (Action), email_addr (Target), Actuator (sys specific)

      There's no shame in being a uniform labeling. That is in and of itself a worthwhile task.

      Description

      The wording of the "action" terms is confusing. These are labels for "actions" and not actions, such as: "query - Initiate a request for information."

      No, query is a label for an action, when combined with a target label plus value and an undefined actuator, initiates a request for information. It is the undefined actuator and not the query label that makes the request. Yes?
