Update Definitions

  • Key: SPMS14-4
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Dr. Jason McC. Smith)
  • Summary:

    The definitions in Terms & Definitions need to be reworked not so much for content, but for formatting. See both ISO / IEC 2018 Directivess Part 2, 2018 Clause 16, as well as Nick Stavros' EBC review of SPMS 1.3 June 5 2024.

    New 'in place substitution' appropriate definitions need to be written, with the existing text bumped to Note status in some cases.

Hanging paragraphs need to be converted to subclauses

  • Key: SPMS14-7
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Dr. Jason McC. Smith)
  • Summary:

    Subclauses 12.3 and 12.6 have hanging paragraphs (content between the title and the first subsubclause). These are not allowed by ISO, and need to be resolved before PAS submission. This will renumber the subsequent subsubclauses and may require changing references to them elsewhere.

Delete Clause 5 Symbols

  • Key: SPMS14-10
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Dr. Jason McC. Smith)
  • Summary:

    Clause 5 Symbols is empty, only a declaration that the document defines none.

    By both OMG and ISO requirements this is unnecessary.

    Deleting this Clause, will, however, renumber the remainder of the document, making tracking of other issues more difficult.
