Issues Descriptions

Refactor PPMN XSDs based updated method of translating from UML Metamodel Diagrams

  • Key: PPMN_-75
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BPM Advantage Consulting ( Dr. Stephen White)
  • Summary:

    The current PPMN XSDs were developed with a faulty translation of UML class relationships to the XSD elements.
    To resolve this issue we need to specify the XSD patterns that correspond to the UML class relationships and then update the XSDs.

  • Reported: PPMN 1.0a1 — Mon, 23 Jan 2023 20:15 GMT
  • Disposition: Deferred — PPMN 1.0b2
  • Disposition Summary:

    Defer to RTF

    The resolution requires additional detail about what is "faulty" with the translations used as well as the heuristics used by the other specifications in the BPM+ family such as SCE and SDMN.

Packages in metamodel are missing URIs and ns prefixes

  • Key: PPMN_-63
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    Without those, interchange becomes less predictable.
    The nsPrefixes need adding as mof:tags org.omg.xmi.nsPrefix.

  • Disposition: Resolved — PPMN 1.0b2
  • Disposition Summary:

    Updating URIs

    The metamodel had the URI and nsPrefix tags set but they may not have been exported to the XMI. The URIs were updated to include a current date.

  • Updated: Fri, 20 Dec 2024 22:19 GMT

Ontology needs revamping to make it usable

  • Key: PPMN_-62
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    The initial version was created using MOF2RDF rules, which are intended for metamodel management, not a deployable ontology.
    Further, the ontology could use some documentation in the specification.

Section 6.2 Typographical and Linguistic Conventions and Style are not consistently implemented in the document

  • Key: PPMN_-66
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Infinity Technology Incorporated ( Mr. Yvon Lacasse)
  • Summary:

    Section 6.2 in bmi/22-09-01 (PPMN), section 6.2 in dtc/22-01-04 (SCE), and section 6.1.1 in formal/2011-01-03 (BPMN) show identical typographical conventions about references to graphical, non-graphical elements, and references to attributes or model associations. However, it appears that PPMN and SCE do not implement these conventions properly, certainly not in the manner observed in BPMN.

  • Reported: PPMN 1.0a1 — Mon, 5 Jun 2023 16:56 GMT
  • Disposition: Closed; No Change — PPMN 1.0b2
  • Disposition Summary:

    Comment too general.

  • Source: Infinity Technology Incorporated ( Mr. Yvon Lacasse)
  • Summary:

    At line 993, Table 6 the text refers to a .formatRegistry, seemingly a class, which is not modeled or referenced in the text anywhere in PPMN or SCE.

  • Reported: PPMN 1.0a1 — Wed, 14 Jun 2023 19:59 GMT
  • Disposition: Deferred — PPMN 1.0b2
  • Disposition Summary:

    Defer to RTF

  • Summary:

    EntitySnapshot specifies an attribute creationDate when it already exists in its parent class Entity.

  • Reported: PPMN 1.0a1 — Sat, 14 Jan 2023 19:29 GMT
  • Disposition: Closed; No Change — PPMN 1.0b2
  • Disposition Summary:

The statement in line 959, "Entities may represent some other thing of interest through EntityURI property," is ambiguous

  • Key: PPMN_-17
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Infinity Technology Incorporated ( Mr. Yvon Lacasse)
  • Summary:

    The statement in line 959, "Entities may represent some other thing of interest through EntityURI property," is ambiguous. What kind of relationship is "represent"? Is it a reference, correlation, or some undefined relationship? Depending on the definition of this relationship, we may introduce some inconsistencies in the metamodel.
    Furthermore, table 5 in line 984 defines "entityURI" as "A URI to the Entity". This is ambiguous and difficult to reconcile with line 959.

  • Source: Infinity Technology Incorporated ( Mr. Yvon Lacasse)
  • Summary:

    Section 8.11 Primitives shows UUID as a primitive (line 2356). However it does not appear anywhere in the document and may be unecessary.

  • Reported: PPMN 1.0a1 — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 19:53 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — PPMN 1.0b2
  • Disposition Summary:

    Element already removed, Figure updated.

EntityTypeSnapshot class in Fig. 3 Entities and Entity Types UML diagram is incorrectly named EntitySnapshotType

  • Key: PPMN_-14
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Infinity Technology Incorporated ( Mr. Yvon Lacasse)
  • Summary:

    In Fig. 3 UML diagram Entities and Entity Types, the class representing a snapshot of an Entity Type is incorrectly named EntitySnapshotType. The correct name should be EntityTypeSnapshot, i.e. a snapshot of an entity type rather than the type of an entity snapshot. This is further underscored in line 964, where the term EntityTypeSnapshots is used.

  • Reported: PPMN 1.0a1 — Tue, 16 May 2023 20:19 GMT
  • Disposition: Closed; No Change — PPMN 1.0b2
  • Disposition Summary:

    EntitySnapshotType is correctly named

    The name is correct because it is the type of a Snapshot, not a Snapshot of a type.

  • Updated: Fri, 20 Dec 2024 22:19 GMT

EntityComposition and EntityTypeComposition relationships are not defined

  • Key: PPMN_-21
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Infinity Technology Incorporated ( Mr. Yvon Lacasse)
  • Summary:

    Section 8.1 starting at line 965 contains references to EntityComposition and EntityTypeComposition relationships. These are not defined or modeled in bmi/22-09-01 or dtc/22-01-04.

  • Reported: PPMN 1.0a1 — Sat, 14 Jan 2023 19:03 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — PPMN 1.0b2
  • Disposition Summary:

    EntityComposition and EntityTypeComposition names Fixed

    EntityComposition and EntityTypeComposition names have been updated to their correct names - EntityRelationship and EntityRelationshipType, respectively.

  • Updated: Fri, 20 Dec 2024 22:19 GMT

Lines 961, 963, 965, and 1016 all refer to an "EntityComposition" relationship which is not defined.

  • Key: PPMN_-15
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Infinity Technology Incorporated ( Mr. Yvon Lacasse)
  • Summary:

    The "EntityComposition relationship is referred to in the text at lines 961, 963, 965, and 1016, but is not defined in the specification and does not exist. The mechanism of composition is defined by SCE RelationshipKind class Composition.

Line 991, link to "SemanticReference" is incorrect.

  • Key: PPMN_-16
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Infinity Technology Incorporated ( Mr. Yvon Lacasse)
  • Summary:

    Line 991, link to "SemanticReference" lands on section 10 "Parties Model" when it should land on section 12.6.2 SemanticReference. Perhaps it simply can be removed since section 12 SCE Model will be removed from bmi/22-09-01 and a reference to SCE might suffice.

  • Reported: PPMN 1.0a1 — Tue, 16 May 2023 20:41 GMT
  • Disposition: Closed; No Change — PPMN 1.0b2
  • Disposition Summary:

    SemanticReference already removed.

    The element SemanticReference was removed from SCE and has been removed from PPMN as well in previous resolutions.

    2. Parties Class is specified correctly and is consistent with the diagrams, but it differs from all others. For example, it has no fill gradient or shadow.

    3. Why "Parties General Class"? Why not just "Parties Class"?

    4. "Parentheses" is misspelled.

    5. SCE Class has a radial gradient fill rather than solid, as implied. The figure in the table features a grey line. In diagrams, when an SCE class appears in a PPMN diagram, it has a solid black line. When shown in a diagram belonging to the SCE package, it has a grey line.

    6. External class fill is light-colored radial gradient grey.

Occurrence Aggregation

  • Key: PPMN_-73
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Auxilium Technology Group ( Mr. John C. Butler)
  • Summary:

    Occurrences need the ability to aggregate Occurrences sub-Occurrences without having them necessarily be in a sub-chain. This supports the tying together of different types of Occurrences such as a Custody Occurrence and a Pedigree Occurrence. An example is the loading of grain from a farm into a shipping truck that already has grain in it. This is a combination of the grain as well as custody of the grain passing from the farm or depot to the shipping company.

  • Reported: PPMN 1.0a1 — Sun, 5 Mar 2023 21:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — PPMN 1.0b2
  • Disposition Summary:

    Modify OccurrenceRelationship and OccurrenceRelationshipType to include Composition

    OccurrenceRelationship and OccurrenceRelationshipType are specializations of ElementRelationship and ElementRelationshipType, respectively. They are currently used to signify sequencing relationships between Occurrences. These elements could also be used to aggregate Occurrences as suggested by the issue. It would mean removing or changing how the predecessor relationship is calculated. This proposal suggests reusing "Transition" instance of RelationshipKind (from SCE) to represent "predecessor" occurrences. The predecessor property of Occurrence has therefore been updated to a derived property that will be calculated based on OccurrenceRelationships with kind set to Transition to account for that requirement. This also allows the use of other relationship kinds, especially "Composition" which would address the issue.

No Graphical Notation for Properties

  • Source: Auxilium Technology Group ( Mr. John C. Butler)
  • Summary:

    PPMN doesn't have a way to graphically show relationships between elements that are otherwise captured as attributes. An example is the location of an Entity or a Party. The metamodel supports capturing the fact that an Entity is at a location and while locations do have a graphical representation, there isn't any given graphical notation for showing that the Entity is at that location. This significantly degrades the ability to graphically show where things are in relation to one-another.

This raises the question around the two class names "EntityRelationshipType" and "EntityTypeRelationship" mentioned in the same section 8.1.4. Combined with the fact that fig. 3 shows a derived attribute "part" for EntityTypes, i.e. an aggregation of Composition RelationshipKind amongst associations of an EntityType instance suggest we are missing some constructs in the diagram. At the very least, I believe a clearer text explanation is warranted.

  • Summary:

    The statement in line 959, "Entities may represent some other thing of interest through EntityURI property," is ambiguous. What kind of relationship is "represent"? Is it a reference, correlation, or some undefined relationship? Depending on the definition of this relationship, we may introduce some inconsistencies in the metamodel.
    Furthermore, table 5 in line 984 defines "entityURI" as "A URI to the Entity". This is ambiguous and difficult to reconcile with line 959.

    This may be ambiguous and misleading since the notion of containment differs from the notion of composition. The attribute part is derived so we should be explicit about its computation which in this case is the collection of all EntityRelationships of kind Composition from SCE ElementRelationship RelationshipKind.
