 #### Reference Values Triple {#sec-comid-triple-refval}
 
 A Reference Values Triple provides reference measurements or reference claims pertaining to a Target Environment.
-For a Reference Value triple, the subject identifies a Target Environment, the object contains reference measurements associated to one or more measured elements of the Environment, and the predicate asserts that these are expected (i.e. reference) measurements for the Target Environment.

 Subsequently, the `ref-claims` from this triple are used to match against the Evidence measurements for the matched environment.
 If the search criteria are satisfied, the matching entry is re-asserted, except with the Reference Value Provider's authority.
 By re-asserting Evidence using the RVP's authority, the Verifier can avoid mixing Reference Values (reference state) with Evidence (actual state).
