The "associated" prefix for some querie names seems to be used arbitrary. "Associated_document_query" asks for associated documents but "Item_classification_query" asks for associated item_classifications. Clear guidelines shall be given for using that prefix.

The WSDL and the XML Schema should be extended by xsd:appinfo's with informations about the allowed types for the xs:IDREF(S) which are modelled as interfaces in the PIM.

The result of the concatenation of queries
is defined as the union of the result of the
single queries.

Some use cases needs another semantic of concatenated queries.
F.i. for the Start node identification use case
the set of Items selected by an Item_query
have to be filtered by an (optional)
following Item_version_query.
In this case the ItemQuery doesn't contribute directly to the
result of the whole concatenated query
but is only an intermediate step to define the start nodes
of the following Item_version_query.

To switch the semamtics of concatenation between

A) union of single result
B) intermediate step without contribution to the result
but with contribution to the start nodes of the next queries
a flag should be added to the class Query called "Intermediate".

All relationships in the PIM which are defined in different types
but which are (potentially) used together in queries,
(f.i. Associated_document_query for associated documents
independend of the association source type)
should have common base interfaces in the PIM which define this relationships.

These interfaces and relationships have no impact for the web service PSM
but eventually for future PSM.

Add complex type Section_context according to the requirements described in the VDA Recommendations for the Exchange of digital Engineering Change Requests (ECR). Proposed solution: <xs:complexType name="Section_context"> <xs:complexContent> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="Msg_type" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="Dunsnr" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="Interactionid" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="Newinteractionid" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/> <xs:element name="Interactionscenarioname" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="Messagename" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="Sequenceno" type="xs:integer"/> <xs:element name="Iscomplete" type="xs:boolean"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexContent> </xs:complexType>

The Computational Model defines many different Types:
Service Interfaces
Exception Types
Generic Query Types
PDTnet Query Types
Message Types
and other.

This Types should be separated into
different subpackages of the Computational Model PIM
and different schemas in the Computational Model WebService PSM.

The semantics of the specified Alternative_solution_query is to find
associated Alternative_solutions for Complex_products.

So its name should be changed to Associated_alternative_solution_query.

There is a discrepancy between the base standard ISO 10303-214 and the OMG PLM Services 1.0 with respect to the multiplicity of relations. While in AP214 of the template “SET [0:?]” is used, in the PLM Services, especially in the XML platform specific model the template “optional SET [1:?]” is used. Although this mapping may be semantically equal, a problem arises with respect to the automatic translation between ISO 10303-21 files and PLM XML files/streams. Proposed solution: consider revising the mapping of cardinalities of type “optional SET [1:?]” in the PLM (XML) Services into “SET [0:?]”.
