Issues Descriptions

General spelling and typographical errors in text

  • Key: MIPS-6
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6622
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Oracle ( John Poole)
  • Summary:

    There are numerous, very minor spelling/typographical errors throughout
    the specfication text that are not critical but should be corrected if
    possible.
    Resolution:
    Correct textual errors.
    Revised text:
    (see change bars in convenience document ptc/03-10-13)
    Action taken:
    Corrected textual errors in proposed Available Specification.
    Discussion: None

  • Reported: MIPS 1.0b1 — Wed, 19 Nov 2003 05:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — MIPS 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

Use of URL versus URI

  • Key: MIPS-3
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6619
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Oracle ( John Poole)
  • Summary:

    The CWM MIP model should specify a URI rather than a URL
    as the pattern specification document identifier, given the
    greater generality of a URI.
    Resolution:
    Change InterchangePattern:url to InterchangePattern:uri.
    Revised text:
    URI: A URI identifying a human-readable pattern specification
    document that describes the interchange pattern.
    Action taken:
    Revised model and incorporated above revised text into proposed Available Specification.

Conformance Requirements

  • Key: MIPS-2
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6618
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Oracle ( John Poole)
  • Summary:

    The CWM MIP Specification should not force implementations to support the entire
    CWM MIP model as a specification conformance point. Rather, implementations should
    be capable of interchanging pattern definitions independently of their capability
    to interchange any metadata that might be described by those patterns. This would
    be an acceptable level of conformance for classes of tools that are focused on
    pattern design activities only.
    Resolution:
    Relax the conformance statement accordingly.
    Revised text:
    2.5 Conformance Points
    An implementation of CWM MIP must minimally provide the InterchangePattern class
    of Figure 2-1, and the following classes of Figure 2-2: PatternConstraint,
    Restriction, BindingParameter, Projection, Semantic Context, and GraphSubset.
    This means that implementations of CWM MIP are allowed to interchange pattern
    models only, without necessarily being required to also support the exchange
    of related pattern instances.
    2.5.1 Optional Conformance Points
    An implementation of CWM MIP may optionally provide the UnitOfInterchange
    class of Figure 2-1, and/or the ModeledSemanticContext and ModeledGraphSubset
    classes of Figure 2-2.
    Action taken:
    Incorporated the above revised text into proposed Available Specfication.

OCL Constraints

  • Key: MIPS-1
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6617
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Oracle ( John Poole)
  • Summary:

    The CWM MIP Specification should not force
    implementations to support the Object Constraint Language (OCL).
    Resolution:
    Replace OCLExpression with a new class called PatternConstraint
    that supports a string-based representation of a constraint with no specific
    language requirement. PatternConstraint should include an attribute that
    names the constraint language.
    Revised text:
    PatternConstraint is used to define constraints against the metamodel
    Projection (described below). There is no requirement to use any
    particular constraint language. However, if OCL is used, the OCL
    expression contained by PatternConstraint must be a valid OCL expression
    relative to the modeling context of the Projection.
    Action taken:
    Corrected in model and in proposed Available Specfication text

CWM Developers Guide

  • Key: MIPS-5
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6621
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Oracle ( John Poole)
  • Summary:

    The CWM Developer’s Guide is listed as “forthcoming” in
    the references, but this book is now generally available.
    Resolution:
    Delete "(forthcoming)" from reference.
