in document mantis/04-04-05 from the PLM Services 1.0 specification, chapter 8.9 (Query Type), the behavior a next_query concerning the exact scope of elements applying to it should be precised, for example as following: 'ALL objects which were used as start nodes for the predecessor query, plus ALL the objects selected by the predecessor query, including those objects enclosed through the multiplicity conditions (in the sense of Issue #7883), build the start nodes set for the Next_query.' Because of performance reasons, it should however be possible to restrict this start nodes set to some object types. For example a design_discipline_item_definition_query returns instances of item, item_version and ddid. Each of these objects may be referenced by a person_organization_assignment. A Next_query Associated_organization_query would return the person_organization_assignments of all organizations associated to the item(s), the item_version(s) as well as the ddid(s) => it should be possible to restrict the scope to the item_version(s), for example. An alternative would be to restrict implicitly the scope by replacing the above statement by: 'Only the objects selected by the predecessor query (not the ones which were used as start nodes for the predecessor query, nor the objects enclosed through the multiplicity conditions (in the sense of Issue #7883)), build the start nodes set for the Next_query.' In this case, the Associated_organization_query would be mentioned (if wished) explicitly in each predecessor query. Regards,

in document mantis/04-04-05 from the PLM Services 1.0 specification, Chapter 8.9 (Query Type), it should be mentioned that: . a <Next_query>-Query which returns objects which reference the object(s) of the query(ies) above (i.e. which are not embedded in the object(s) of the query(ies) above) shall fill all these reference attributes with the uid of these objects. . if such a reference attribute hat maxOccurs > 1, the list contains only the uids of the referenced object(s) of the query(ies) above, even if the underlying system contains references to further objects. . Reference attributes with minOccurs=1 shall be set to /nil if they are not filled by the query. . In case of 'intermediate=true', the whole query result contains only the result of the underlying queries but not of the embedding query.

in document mantis/04-04-05 from the PLM Services 1.0 specification, chapter 8.10 (Generic Queries Conformance Point), a new kind of predicate is needed to apply attribute comparison with the operators '<' (less than) or '>' (greater than). For example to select objects having date > '2004-12-12' and < '2004-12-18'. Currently, only '=' is supported. Regards,

For the compositions 'Item_version' and 'Document_version'
we have set xs:nillable='true' to satisfy the multipliciy
constraint '1..*' with nil objects (if required) .

The problem appears in other locations in the informational XML Schema too.
There are many locations in the informational XML Schema with relationships
with the multiplicity '1..*'.
If such a relationship is traversed inside the evaluation of a query in inverse direction
the source objekct of the traversion can be used to satisfy the multiplicity constraint
in the result.
But which objects should be used in other cases to satisfy the multiplicity?

If we have a Work_order_query
and this query selects a Work_order object.
Which activity objects should be added to the result
to satisfy the multiplicity of the Is_controlling association
of the Work_order object:
all, one arbitrary or one nil activity object?

Here is the hopefully complete list of the concerned relationships:

New PLM_messages "Additional_object_written_message" and "Additional_object_deleted_message"

The operation write should return messages of new type Additional_object_written_message
for all PLM_objects which are written to the Server database inside the write operation
but are not in the write parameter of type PLM_container.

The operation delete should return messages of new type Additional_object_deleted_message

inside the delete operation but are not inside the delete parameter list.

The Semantic of the attribute "version_id" of the class "PLM_container"

The Computational Viewpoint defines four Operations with parameter of type PLM_property:

PLM_resource_adapter.get_connection_factory
PLM_connection_factory.get_connection
PLM_connection.insert
PLM_connection.export

The allowed values for the propeties are implementation specific.
To enable an interactive client to provide its user
with the actual allowed or expected property values of a connected PLM Service implementation
The service should have complementary operations for each operation with properties parameter,
which returns descriptors for the actual allowed or expected property value:

PLM_resource_adapter.get_connection_factory_property_descriptors
PLM_connection_factory.get_connection_property_descriptors
PLM_connection.insert_property_descriptors
PLM_connection.export_property_descriptors

The descriptor for a single Property should contain:

the name of the property
the type of the property
the description of the property
an optional pattern to proove user input
and a flag if the property is required

With a PLM_resource_adapter.get_connection_factory_property_descriptors operation
there is no more need for the PLM_resource_adapter.get_connection_factory_names.

The Queries defined in the PDTnet Queries Conformance Point
do not match the Use Cases defined in Chapter 2.2 but are only
specific Queries which can be used as building blocks to define
Queries that fulfill the requirements of the Use Cases.

So this Conformance Point should be renamed in
"Specific Queries Conformance Point" and a new Conformance Point
should be added to the Specification which define the Queries,
which fulfill exactly the requirements of the use cases.

The STEP AP214 Standardization Group has changed its
simple property concept from Simple_property_value to
Simple_property_association. To close the gap to the STEP
specification the PLM Services should also use the
final STEP simple property concept:

The Datatype "Integer" of the PIM should be mapped to "xs:int" instead of "xs:integer"
in the WebService PSM
because the JAX-RPC Mapping of "xs:integer" is "java.lang.BigInteger"
and the JAX-RPC Mapping of "xs:int" is "int".

the Occurrencies of the Attributes 'role_name', 'role_declaring_type_name' and 'inverse' of the Class 'Location_step' should be coupled as followed: <xs:complexType name="Location_step"> <xs:sequence> <xs:sequence minOccurs="0"> <xs:element name="Role_name" type="xs:string" /> <xs:element name="Role_declaring_type_name" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="Inverse" type="xs:boolean" minOccurs="0"/> </xs:sequence> <xs:element name="Predicate" type="Predicate" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> <xs:element name="Next_step" type="Location_step" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> because the attributes 'role_declaring_type_name' and 'inverse' make sense only when 'role_name' is set; and a 'role_name' without a 'role_declaring_type' seems problematical.

I'll would also like to point to section 7.7.12.39 which I think is a typo. It think that it should be the associations subsection of 7.7.12.38 that talks about Specification_inclusion

In several places in the model, there are classes that have both realization and association relationships with interfaces. An example is the Specification_expression class that holds association and realization relationships with the Specification_operand_select interface. The PLM Adopted Specification (OMG document dtc/04-05-05) in its section 7.7.12 describes the PLM Configuration Management Package. In it, figure 104 illustrates the association relationship between the Specification_expression and the Specification_operand_select. Later in section 7.7.12.42 the interface Specification_operand_select is defined as: " This empty interface is defined to provide a placeholder for the following classes: Specification_expression and Specification"

The realization relationhsip between a class and an interface is perfectly clear to me. It is the association relationships that "provides a placeholder" that I cannot understand. Does it mean that such a placeholder is an instance of an element that implements the interface?
