Simplify ArtifactElement and its sub-types

  • Key: SACM21-2

  • Summary:

    In SACM, all elements in the Argumentation package, Artifact package, Terminology package, and AssuranceCase package are considered to be Artifacts.

    Consequently ArtifactElement needs to be moved to the Base classes and be a direct sub-type of ModelElement. All elements in other packages then will sub-type ArtifactElement.

B and A or A and B

  • Source: MITRE ( Mr. Robert Martin)
  • Summary:

    p39:Last sentences of 11.13 and 11.14: Is A and B intentionally exchange in "the truth of" parts of the two sentences?

    11.13: "An inference asserted between two claims (A � the source � and B � the target) denotes that the truth of Claim A is said to infer the truth of Claim B."

    11.14: "An AssertedInference between two claims (A � the source � and B � the target) denotes that the truth of Claim B is said to infer the truth of Claim A."

    I would expect that the inference of truth comes from the source and is asserted for the target so the other way than 11.14 Semantics part defines. [Remark: I am not a native English speaker so it might be strange just for me why the "said to infer" expression is used instead of "inferred from". I interpret "The truth of X is said to infer the truth of Y." as "Truth of Y can be inferred from the truth of X." or "The truth of X logically necessitates the truth of Y."- is it correct?]

  • Summary:

    p38, 11.13, Attributes: If "isCounter" seems to be set to false then stating that "a flag indicating that the AssertedRelationship counters its declared purposes" seems to be controversial, although I understand that the "false" is a default value. I think, adding "that whether the AssertedRelationship counters" is more clear. E.g. in 11.10 at a similar case, it writes "indicating the state ..." which was more clear.
