Issues Descriptions

Incomplete URIStore definition

  • Key: MOF26-30
  • Legacy Issue Number: 15642
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    The diagram on p6 includes URIStore but with incomplete lines.

    There is no subsection for it in 6.2.

Migration of package relationships

  • Key: MOF26-31
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6909
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    Summary:
    At MOF 1.4, packages can be related through:

    • import
    • nesting
    • inheritance
    • clustering
      We haven't really addressed this aspect of migration which should be added to Chapter 9.
      Personally I think there's little value in MOF 1.4 nesting and inheritance relationships and they're infrequently used in real metamodels (if people know what they're doing - occasionally people nest packages in UML Profile for MOF without realizing the implications).

    In UML2 though we do still have a nesting relationship between packages so should consider the implications in terms of MOF constraints and extents.

    Conversely we no longer have clustering (the most useful relationship in MOF 1.4) though we do have merging (with 2 flavors): we need to consider the runtime implications of instantiating a package that merges other packages. Is it the same as clustering?

Need to specify URI structure

  • Key: MOF26-29
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6904
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    Summary:
    isID semantics - the 'may be used' is too weak. I think myself and Joaquin have made the point that we
    need to specify the URI structure to get interoperability (and I don't mean the W3C standard - I mean how to construct
    the URI from the objects/extents/properties/containers being identified).

MOF Facility Object Lifecycle (MOF FOL) 2.0: inconsistency about Facility::getWorkspace()

  • Key: MOF26-26
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18901
  • Status: open  
  • Source: NASA ( Dr. Nicolas F. Rouquette)
  • Summary:

    The overview diagram in section 6.2 shows an operation:

    Facility::getWorkspace(id : String[0..1]) : Workspace

    However, section 6.2.1.3 describes an operation with a different signature:

    Facility::getWorkspace(id : String[0..1]) : Workspace[0..*]

    Which is it?

MOF Facility Object Lifecycle (FOL) 2.0: Is there a URIStor or not?

  • Key: MOF26-24
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18903
  • Status: open  
  • Source: NASA ( Dr. Nicolas F. Rouquette)
  • Summary:

    The figure in section 6.2 shows a URIStore class with two broken lines (associations? Generalizations? Something else?)
    There is no entry for URIStore in the spec but there is a reference to it in 6.2.1.3:

    Facility::createStore(name : String, contextURI : String[0..1], ….)

    The description of the contextURI parameter says:

    The URI to be used to address this Store. If specified, an instance of URIStore will be created.

    So, is there a URIStore metaclass in MOF FOL or not?
