  • Disposition: Resolved — SACM 1.0b2
  • Disposition Summary:

    All references are against document ptc/2012-04-04
    Change text on page 13 into:
    The key concept of evidence is a Document that provides evidentiary support to some Subject claim.
    Document is collected during the course of Evidence collection process. Usually a Document is interpreted
    as a description of a certain state of affairs involving several objects in the subject area (for which certain
    claims are being made). Subject claims are assertions related to the state of affairs in the subject area.
    Evidence evaluation (as opposed to Evidence collection) involves certain specific Claims about Evidence,
    in particular, Evidence Relation describes the nature of the evidentiary support between a Document and a
    Subject Claim, or the interpretation of a Document as a meaning. Evidence Relation involves certain
    attributes that qualify relations between Documents and Subject Claims, or Documents and meanings.
    Evidence Observations describe conflicts between evidence relations. Evidence Resolutions record
    judgments that resolve conflicts in evidence relations. Note, that Documents and Subject Claims simply
    exist. A Document becomes Evidence only insofar as it is claimed to provide evidentiary support to a
    certain Subject Claim.
    remove Figure 6.1
    remove the following text on page 12, before the Figure 6.1: "Relationships between the key elements of
    evidence metamodel are illustrated in Figure 6.1"
    add note to element Meaning on page 105
    Note: Meaning is represented by SACM Formal Element
    Rename element Meaning to FormalElement on diagram Evidence Elements.
    Change section 10.1.6 Meaning , page 38, from:
    10.1.6 Meaning (abstract)
    Meaning is an abstract class that represents any elements of meaning that are associated
    with objects presented as evidence or otherwise involved in the evidence collection.
    Superclass
    EvidenceItem
    Semantics
    Meaning is an element of meaning that represents a certain individual concept, a noun
    concept, verb phrases and claims. Two subclasses of Meaning are DomainObject,
    representing noun concepts, and DomainAssertion, representing verb concepts and
    claims.
    into 10.1.6 FormalElement (abstract)
    FormalElement is an abstract class that represents any elements of meaning that are
    associated with objects presented as evidence or otherwise involved in the evidence
    collection.
    Superclass
    EvidenceItem

    FormalElement is an element of meaning that represents a certain individual concept, a
    noun concept, verb phrases and propositions. Two subclasses of FormalElement are
    FormalObject, representing noun concepts, and FormalAssertion, representing verb
    concepts and propositions.
    Change sentence on page 80 from:
    EvidenceInterpretation is an abstract class that represents a relation between one
    EvidenceElement and one Meaning element.
    into
    EvidenceInterpretation is an abstract class that represents a relation between one
    EvidenceElement and one FormalElement.
    Change sentence on page 81 from:
    EvidenceInterpretation is a unit of information generated during evidence evaluation. It
    represents a relationship between an EvidenceItem and a Meaning object that is asserted
    during the evidence evaluation.
