UAF13 — Many Normative References Are Not Sources of Requirements Against Which Conformance Assessed and Hence Not Normative

  • Key: UAF13-111
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Eclectica Systems Ltd ( Nic Plum)
  • Summary:

    The statement is made 'The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this specification.'

    This isn't true.

    UML profile for BPMN isn't normative in the DMM - it might be in the UAFML which defines a UML profile for the UAF but ADLs such as the UML, SysML, BPMN, IEPPV, BMM cannot be normative for the DMM which is supposed to apply to non-UML implementations. The UML spec is only informative for the DMM in as much as it conceivably (impossible in practice) might provide advice on how to read and interpret the notation used.

    Any wiki, for example the IDEAS one, cannot be normative. For a start there is no defined baseline date or issue let alone the fact that it doesn't state any requirements. At best this particular one is an informative reference.
