The meaning of a claim (its semantics) is determined by its author.
The meaning of a claim (its semantics) is determined by the entity that
made that particular claim.

Claims can be authored by <a>issuers</a>, e.g., to construct a <a>verifiable credential</a> with, or
by <a>holders</a>, e.g., to include in a <a>verifiable presentation</a>.
Different <a>issuers</a> and <a>verifiers</a> can reuse the same semantics for claims through the use of shared vocabularies and/or ontologies.
