Missing type declarations for ownedAttributes in emof file

  • Key: FACE-23
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: MITRE ( Ms. Sarah Douglass)
  • Summary:

    (from Pete Rivett) There are many properties (ownedAttributes with xmi:type=”uml:Property”) that do not have types assigned to them in the .emof file. That is mandatory.

  • Reported: FACE 1.0b1 — Wed, 7 Apr 2021 21:08 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — FACE 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Add type declarations to ownedAttributes for which there are no types declared

    Change the UML URL at the top of the file from "https" to "http"

    Add (as appropriate) type declarations for attributes in the normative emof file. Type declarations are of the style:
    <type href="http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/20161101/PrimitiveTypes.xmi#Boolean"/>
    and valid types are: Boolean, Integer, Real, String, UnlimitedNatural

Correct mofext tags and change final separator for FACE namespaces in emof file

  • Key: FACE-25
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: MITRE ( Ms. Sarah Douglass)
  • Summary:

    Short Version: The mofext tags at the end of the emof file are incorrect. The existing namespace prefix (nsPrefix) declarations need to be corrected and also need to be supplemented with additional mofext that include namespace URI (nsURI) declarations. Also consider changing the format of the FACE 3.0 namespaces to use the "#" separator, e.g. http://www.opengroup.us/face/3.0#platform

    Details:
    (from Pete Rivett) The URI property represents the identifier of the metamodel. This URI property, though it’s used by default for the interchange namespace, can be overridden to specify the namespace used for interchange. If you want to keep the opengroup website for the XML namespace, that is specified using the nsURI MOF tag I mentioned. It accompanies the tags you’re already using for the nsPrefix, which appear at the end of the file:, though they are currently wrong - the nsPrefix name must be itself prefixed org.omg.xmi. as shown below.

    You’d need to declare a nsURI (namespace URI) for each nsPrefix (namespace prefix, you have 6), I just show the first, the others will just differ in the last line for the element and the value.

    <!--- Original Text at end of emof file --->
    <mofext:Tag xmlns:mofext="http://www.omg.org/spec/MOF/20131001" xmi:type="mofext:Tag"
    xmi:id="_19_0_2_157603d2_1581698299484_395395_5638_nsPrefix" name="nsPrefix"
    element="datamodel-platform" value="platform"/>

    <!--- This is the recommended replacement text from Pete. --->
    <mofext:Tag xmlns:mofext="http://www.omg.org/spec/MOF/20131001" xmi:type="mofext:Tag"
    xmi:id="_19_0_2_157603d2_1581698299484_395395_5638_nsPrefix" name="org.omg.xmi.nsPrefix"
    element="datamodel-platform" value="platform"/>

    <mofext:Tag xmlns:mofext="http://www.omg.org/spec/MOF/20131001" xmi:type="mofext:Tag"
    xmi:id="_19_0_2_157603d2_1581698299484_395395_5638_nsURI" name="org.omg.xmi.nsURI"
    element="datamodel-platform" value=" http://www.opengroup.us/face/3.0/platform"/>

    <!--- (you may instead want to use # as final separator) --->
    value=" http://www.opengroup.us/face/3.0#platform"

  • Reported: FACE 1.0a1 — Thu, 8 Apr 2021 15:52 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — FACE 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Correct nsPrefix tags and add nsURI tags per Pete Rivett recommendation

    Correct nsPrefix tags and add nsURI tags per Pete's recommendation.

    No change to the URLs for the FACE namespaces, as this is a translation of the normative MOF 2.0 EMOF metamodel in the FACE Technical Standard, Edition 3.0 to MOF 2.5.1. Any changes in the resulting file format or contents due to the translation of the EMOF metamodel would violate the FACE Technical Standard.

Clarify that FACE Profile for UAF 1.0 represents FACE Tech Standards 3.0

  • Key: FACE-11
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: MITRE ( Ms. Sarah Douglass)
  • Summary:

    (From Pete Rivette) Version numbers are confusing. Clarify that FACE Profile for UAF 1.0 is a representation of the FACE Tech Standard 3.0

  • Reported: FACE 1.0a1 — Sat, 20 Mar 2021 11:40 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — FACE 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Add reference to FACE-UAF profile version and additional references to FACE tech std version

    See attached file in proposal

    In Scope / background section, explicitly state that the FACE Profile for UAF v1.0 specification defines a profile to express ... Technical Standard, Edition 3.0. In this and subsequent sections, amplify references to the FACE Technical Standard to read "FACE Technical Standard, Edition 3.0".

    Adding an explicit edition indicator was appropriate for most, but not all references to the FACE Technical Standard. To find all the places where a change was made, look for comments marked "FACE-11".

    Also changed some existing "FACE 3.0 Technical Standard" strings to "FACE Technical Standard, Edition 3.0" for consistency.

    Use "FACE Technical Standard" uniformly

    Ensure that all references to the "FACE 3.0 Technical Standard" are replaced with "FACE Technical Standard, Edition 3.0" and that all references to "FACE Technical Specification" are changed to reference "FACE Technical Standard".

    This is a PERVASIVE change that includes changes to headings. Although not reflected in the attached file, the Table of Contents will also need to be regenerated. See attached file to view changes. To find all the locations that were changed, look for comments marked FACE-13. There were 33 changes in all.

FACE URI does not resolve in emof

  • Key: FACE-15
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: MITRE ( Ms. Sarah Douglass)
  • Summary:

    (From Pete Rivette at June 22, 2020 AB review) FACE30metamodel.emof is incorrect for FACE – fix the namespace.

    In discussion with Pete, he stated that the issue is that the URIs listed for the FACE metamodel schema in the FACE30metamodel.emof are faulty because they do not resolve to a "live" URL.

  • Reported: FACE 1.0b1 — Fri, 2 Apr 2021 20:18 GMT
  • Disposition: Closed; No Change — FACE 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Discard/No Action: FACE URI does not resolve in emof

    Discard this issue / Resolve with no action. There is no requirement for namespace URIs to resolve to "live" sites.

    The XMI 2.5.1 specification (https://www.omg.org/spec/XMI/2.5.1/PDF), page 16, section 7.8.1 states, "“There is no requirement or expectation by the XML Namespace specification that the logical URI be resolved or dereferenced during processing of XML documents.”

Clarify Normative and Informative status for FACE Metamodel EMOF files

  • Key: FACE-27
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: MITRE ( Ms. Sarah Douglass)
  • Summary:

    There are two FACE Metamodel files in this submission. One is the FACE Metamodel as it appears in the FACE Technical Standard, Edition 3.0, and uses the XMI 2.0 notation. The other is not an official product of The Open Group, but is a derivative product that represents the FACE Metamodel (Edition 3.0) using XMI 2.5.1. This file was generated in response to OMG review comments that the older version of XMI was not acceptable for a Normative file. Because the FACE Metamodel file is normative per the FACE Technical Standard it should remain Normative. The derivative file that uses XMI 2.5.1 is not official and should therefore be marked as Informative.

  • Reported: FACE 1.0a1 — Tue, 1 Jun 2021 19:12 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — FACE 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Add clarifications to descriptions of FACE Metamodel Files

    Make the following changes to Table 1-1:

    • Add a new row to Table 1-1 describing the normative FACE metamodel file.
    • Change all instances of "normative" in the row referencing the FACE Metamodel EMOF 2.5.1 File to "informative".
    • Change the name of the referenced FACE Metamodel EMOF 2.5.1 File to "FACE metamodel 3.0 EMOF 2.5.1.emof"

    (From JD Baker) I’m not sure how I feel about issues to be discussed as part of the specification. At the least this section needs to be flagged as non-normative

    (From JD Baker) I’m not sure how I feel about issues to be discussed as part of the specification. At the least this section needs to be flagged as non-normative

    (Sarah Douglass remarks) This section was added to respond to "Issues to Discuss" in the RFP. The standard did not include responses to these issues anywhere else. The Issues To Discuss topics are mostly discussion of the value of the standard, with some additional discussion about the approaches implementers might take to address OCL correctness of FACE data as described in the specification and the FACE 3.0 standard.
