KERML — Some types not given any semantics

  • Key: KERML-52
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: NIST ( Mr. Conrad Bock)
  • Summary:

    The Type metaclass is concrete (like all the metaclasses in the abstract syntax), making it it syntactically valid to create a Type that is not a Classifier or a Feature. However, Clause 8.4.3.1.2 (Core Semantics Mathematical Preliminaries) requires the set of Types in a model to be the union of the set of Classifiers and Features. This means instances of Type in a model that are not Classifiers or Features are syntactically valid, but not given semantics (it's not possible to tell if instances of such types are valid or not).

    The FTF considers this issue to have merit, but, due to lack of time, is deferring it to a future FTF or RTF.
