SACM2 — There is no compliance point for those that support/use the Terminology Package specified in SACM 2.0’s metamodel.

In making support for the Terminology Package optional a compliance point for those that want to support the Terminology Package was mistakenly left out.

Add a Terminology Package Compliance point

In the first sentence of section 2.1 change “three” to “four”; in bulleted list in section 2.1 add a fourth bulleted item “Terminology Model”; and add a new section “2.5 Terminology Model compliance point”, with the text “Software that conforms to the specification at the Terminology Model compliance point shall be able to import and export XMI documents that conform with the SACM XML Schema produced by applying XMI rules to the normative MOF metamodel defined in this entire specification. The top object of the Terminology package as a unit of interchange shall be the SACM::TerminologyPackage element.

The Conformance clause identifies with clauses of the specification are mandatory (or conditionally mandatory) and which are optional for an implementation to claim conformance to the specification.”
