Update Definitions

  • Key: SPMS14-4
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Dr. Jason McC. Smith)
  • Summary:

    The definitions in Terms & Definitions need to be reworked not so much for content, but for formatting. See both ISO / IEC 2018 Directivess Part 2, 2018 Clause 16, as well as Nick Stavros' EBC review of SPMS 1.3 June 5 2024.

    New 'in place substitution' appropriate definitions need to be written, with the existing text bumped to Note status in some cases.

  • Reported: SPMS 1.3b1 — Sun, 26 Jan 2025 00:22 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — SPMS 1.4b1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Update definitions to ISO format

    Mostly formatting oriented, this will require some changes to the actual text.

Hanging paragraphs need to be converted to subclauses

  • Key: SPMS14-7
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Dr. Jason McC. Smith)
  • Summary:

    Subclauses 12.3 and 12.6 have hanging paragraphs (content between the title and the first subsubclause). These are not allowed by ISO, and need to be resolved before PAS submission. This will renumber the subsequent subsubclauses and may require changing references to them elsewhere.

  • Reported: SPMS 1.3b1 — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 05:39 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — SPMS 1.4b1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Resolve Hanging Paragraphs in 12.3 and 12.6

    Place hanging material in 12.3 and 12.6 into 12.3.1 and 12.6.1 respectively, triggering renumbering of subsequent subclauses.
    Update references to these subclauses as needed.

Consider numbering equations

  • Key: SPMS14-12
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Dr. Jason McC. Smith)
  • Summary:

    There are four equations in the document, none are numbered. Consider numbering them for more clear reference.

    Clause 8.1 pg 7, para 3, 5
    Clause 9.1 pg 10, para 3, 5

  • Reported: SPMS 1.3b1 — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 19:53 GMT
  • Disposition: Closed; No Change — SPMS 1.4b1
  • Disposition Summary:

    No change to numbering equations

    There are four equations that are candidates for numbering:
    Clause 8.1 pg 7, para 3, 5
    Clause 9.1 pg 10, para 3, 5

    None are referenced elsewhere.

    ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2, Clause 27.3 states:
    "If needed for cross-referencing purposes, mathematical formulae can be numbered in a document."

    Since these are not cross-referenced, no numbering is required.

Delete Clause 5 Symbols

  • Key: SPMS14-10
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Dr. Jason McC. Smith)
  • Summary:

    Clause 5 Symbols is empty, only a declaration that the document defines none.

    By both OMG and ISO requirements this is unnecessary.

    Deleting this Clause, will, however, renumber the remainder of the document, making tracking of other issues more difficult.

  • Reported: SPMS 1.3b1 — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 06:28 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — SPMS 1.4b1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Delete Clause 5 - APPLY LAST

    Delete Clause 5 as unnecessary.

    Since this will trigger a renumbering of the remainder of the document, apply this fix LAST to help with issue tracking.
