This statement: "The type gives the context for the properties, thus defining
a vocabulary" says that a vocabulary consists of terms in the context of a
type. So a vocabulary is a set of (type,terms). How can a different type have
the same vocabulary? Different types could have the same terms, however.

Replaced "defining" with "selecting". (The definition of a vocabulary is done by a spec, not a type.)
