ESSENCE2 — All Figures and Diagrams in the whole Specification need to be re-issued as Vector-SVG Figures

Currently the figures in the Essence 2.0 Beta 1 specification document are raster graphics directly embedded in the MS Word document. To improve figure quality and legibility, and to aid long-term maintenance of the specification, all figures and diagrams need to be converted to Vector-SVG figures, and included into the specification maintenance archive, besides replacing the figures in the actual document.

Replace all graphics with SVG images

All figure graphics that are not currently SVG images will be replaced with SVG images, other than in the following annexes:

1. Annex C (SPEM Alignment) is not updated with svg images.
2. Annex D (ISO Alignment) is not updated with svg images.
   In addition:
3. Figure 9.10 (ActivitySpaceAndActivity::Language elements) in the document was inconsistent with the normative language metamodel adopted from Essence 1.2. The new image for this figure corrects the diagram.
4. Figures 9.18 to 9.21 have been re-rendered in black-and-white, consistence with usual practice for model diagrams in a specification document.
5. Figure 9.18 is an object diagram that shows two examples of Actions with slots kind = "output". However, Action::kind is of type ActionKind, and the enumeration ActionKind does not include output is a value (see 9.3.4.4). The erroneous slots have been replaced with kind = create.
6. Card sample figure (p. 109) has been re-rendered in black and white, and updated according to the card syntax.
