is an objective specification a kind of directive information entity

[zhengj2007]

Directive information entity and objective specification are defined as follows:

directive information entity: An information content entity whose concretizations indicate to their bearer how to realize them in a process.

objective specification: a directive information entity that describes an intended process endpoint.

However, an objective specification does not seem like the kind of thing that is a directive information entity. Objective specifications (as defined) describe what the outcome (or result) of process should be. In what sense do they indicate to a bearer how to realize them in a process?
