The mapping between the business logic and it's geometry definition is described in the Partial Template subsections of 4.2.2.1.

Adding the word partial clarifies where the guidance is located within the specification.

**Geometry definition:** the IFC schema provides well established IFC geometric entities to represent the business concepts.

A mapping between the *business logic* and its *geometry definition* in IFC is described by the concept templates related to the alignment geometry.

I concur-the intent of the original paragraph seems to be guiding the reader to the partial concept templates that describe mapping of business logic to geometric definition for each segment type.
