DDSXTY14 — Clarify behavior of @range and @unit with respect to type comptibility

  • Key: DDSXTY14-80
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    The specification does not state clearly if a writer and and reader that have types with incompatible values of @unit or @range should match?

    Also it is not clear as if both a complete TypeObject and a minimal TypeObject should be sent or just one and how it is decided.

    It would seem like.a good idea to allow application (DataReaders) to opt in or out of matching writers that have types with incompatible @range and/or @unit. If so mechanisms should be provided to configure this and make sure the complete TypeIdentifier is propagated in those cases as the corresponding TypeObject is the only one that has the information of @range and @unit.
