Issues Descriptions

Change UML model to match specification text regarding MOF enumerations

  • Key: KDM14-306
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: KDM Analytics ( Dr. Nikolai Mansourov)
  • Summary:

    KDM has several instances of MOF enumerations. The model shall represent them as MOF enumerations, rather than as MOF classes with a hardcoded stereotype "<<enumeration>>"

  • Reported: KDM 1.3 — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 15:26 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — KDM 1.4
  • Disposition Summary:

    Refactor MOF enumerations and update diagrams in the specification

    Currently MOF enumerations are represented as UML classes with a hardcoded stereotype "<<enumeration>>". Instead, they should be represented directly as instances of MOF Enumeration. The figures need to be replaced because of a slightly different look an feel of proper MOF Enumerations. Otherwise the specification text is correct.

  • Updated: Tue, 12 Jul 2016 14:44 GMT

Change MOF XMI version for the specification

  • Key: KDM14-304
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: KDM Analytics ( Dr. Nikolai Mansourov)
  • Summary:

    Currently the KDM spec references an old XMI version 2.1
    The current is 2.4.2
    This affects examples in the specification text as well as KDM XMI XSD

  • Reported: KDM 1.3 — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 06:01 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — KDM 1.4
  • Disposition Summary:

    Update example to new version of XMI and KDM

    The new format of standard references for XMI 2.4.2 schema files is :
    XMI namespace URI http://www.omg.org/spec/XMI/20110701
    XMI xref URI http://www.omg.org/spec/XMI/20110701/XMI-model.xmi

    According to standard format of OMG references, each KDM 1.4 package
    has own namespace URI, with the common base
    http://www.omg.org/spec/KDM/20160501
    followed by the package name.

    For example, for KDM Core package

Revert from Primitivetype back to Datatype in section 9.7

  • Key: KDM14-302
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: KDM Analytics ( Dr. Nikolai Mansourov)
  • Summary:

    In KDM 1.3 the predefined datatypes used to be instances of MOF datatype. According to KDM14-12 this has been changed to PrimitiveType. However, following up the discussion at the AM meeting on March 26, 2015, using MOF datatype is a more appropriate decision.

  • Reported: KDM 1.3 — Tue, 9 Feb 2016 22:06 GMT

Navigability used for code generation

  • Key: KDM14-289
  • Legacy Issue Number: 19729
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    Strictly speaking end ownership should be used for generating operators not navigability. e.g. if the property is an ownedAttribute of the class, not whether it's navigable.

  • Reported: KDM 1.3 — Sat, 21 Feb 2015 05:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — KDM 1.4
  • Disposition Summary:

    Clarify specification text regarding association end ownership

    From Pete Rivett:
    Navigability is an implementation hint that the navigation should be efficient.
    It is quite conceivable to have an ownedAttribute which is not seen an important for it to be efficient (e.g. the implementation might iterate through all instances of the target to look for a link to the source).
    Likewise there might be an end owned by association where efficiency is important but there is no ownedAttribute – especially for cross-metamodel associations (or those involving MOF Element) where it is not allowed to add an ownedAttribute to an external metamodel or MOF itself.

    Though KDM may have a pattern that always combines ownership and navigability, the specification should reference ownership.
    What I’m looking for to resolve my issue is:

    • Use ownership not navigability in the text
    • Use the dot notation in the diagrams to show end ownership

    Overview of the proposed resolution:
    Modify the specification text of section 6.2.1 Diagram format according to the suggestion by Pete. Do not use the dot notation in the diagrams, as the convention of the diagrams is fully described in section 6.2.1, the pattern is consistent, and last but not least, introducing the dot notation involves a massive change to the specification text. Instead, add text to the key semantic sections in the kdm core, emphasizing association end ownership.

Clarify the meaning of BinaryFile

  • Key: KDM14-59
  • Legacy Issue Number: 14170
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Benchmark Consulting ( Alain Picard)
  • Summary:

    The current specification describing the BinaryFile Class file is either incorrect or misleading at best.

    Since all files are ultimately binary, the BinaryFile Class, it seems, is more defined in terms of exclusion rather than inclusion. Normally we would consider human readable files as text files and non-readable files as binary. This is clearly not the definition used in the KDM context, as we would then have Image and ExecutableFile as extending BinaryFile.

    So given the fact that BinaryFile first doesn’t follow general conventions, it should then be better defined. As it can probably be interpreted from reading the specification here, a BinaryFile is any file that doesn’t fit in any of the other type of files extending InventoryItem. But that would still leave us with issues of how to represent files that are clearly Text files, but not SourceFile, Configuration or ResourceDescription.

  • Reported: KDM 1.2 — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Duplicate or Merged — KDM 1.4
  • Disposition Summary:

    Rename BinaryFile to LinkableFile and clarify semantics

    Rename BinaryFile into LinkableFile to avoid confusion with ImageFile on the semantics of "binary" meaning "linkable" rather than "non-text"
    Clarify semantics. BinaryFile, ExecutableFile and SourceFile are related to computations, and contain representations of computational objects and statements in various formats, such as linkable object format for some platform, loadable machine instructions, interpretable bytecode, interpretable text statements, etc.

    doesn't have it. For the most part, I would suggest being in total sync with 11404 should be the default and only in
    selected (very rare) instances should there be deviations. Also, being in sync with the order and structure of chapters 8
    and 10 of ISO 11404:2007 would be better, particularily when fast tracking this through ISO.

current KDM has known issues regarding the expression of modifiers for ClassUnit, MethodUnit, MemberUnit

  • Key: KDM14-64
  • Legacy Issue Number: 15277
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Benchmark Consulting ( Alain Picard)
  • Summary:

    The current KDM has known issues regarding the expression of modifiers for ClassUnit, MethodUnit, MemberUnit and to a certain extent ParameterUnit and StorableUnit.

    The issue is that some of the kind enumeration are tied to a class but in reality can apply in other places and that those enumeration are single valued where in real life usage we would need to often specify more than one value.

    Some concrete example:

    1- ClassUnit (and InterfaceUnit) supports no modifiers (or kind enumeration in KDM speak). This issue was raised in 2006 and never addressed. How can we, without resorting to stereotypes, which are not very interoperable, describe a Java class that is “final public” or “static”

    2- MethodUnit has a MethodKind but it has no ExportKind which would be a start to try to capture a Java method like “final protected” (also needs multi-value)

    3- ParameterUnit has a ParameterKind but it again has no ExportKind. So another example, your Java method parameter that is declared as “final” (or is that an “ImportKind”)

    4- MemberUnit represent for example Java field class member (JLS names). There we have ExportKind but like other places for Java modifiers it would be missing “static”, “transient”, “volatile” and a way to express “default”, unless we agree that it is in force if none of public, private or protected is specified. But we should be able to easily support a field declaration such as: “private static final String CONST1 = “xx”; “

    I am not sure what the best approach is here in all regards. First I think we must change the cardinality to support multiple “modifiers” for the same “unit”. We also need to look if we want to simply expand the ExportKind and move it to the ComputationObject class instead of being at the MemberUnit level. That obviously expands the classes that can make use of it, but it addresses most of the issues, except for the ClassUnit and InterfaceUnit which are children of DataType

mark code element as ordered

  • Key: KDM14-63

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Benchmark Consulting ( Alain Picard)
  • Summary:

    In the Action Package, the codeElement at the to endpoint of the ActionElement, AbstractCodeElement relation should be marked as ordered.

    This would be consistent with all other subsets of ownedElement with a mulitiplicity greater than 1 from the code model that also point to AbstractCodeElement which are all ordered. Given that these are owned code elements, and I quote, “nested action elements, or nested BlockUnits, or nested definitions of datatypes and computational objects”, losing the ordering of such elements goes counter to the design of the code model and has huge impact as we have to make ordering assumptions to make sense of the content.

KDM Build package issue

  • Key: KDM14-70
  • Legacy Issue Number: 15925
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Benchmark Consulting ( Alain Picard)
  • Summary:

    There is an inconsistency between the documentation in the KDM build package and the example in the section.

    The example shows a BuildStep consuming it's input source elements which are classified as BuildComponent.

    In the description for BuildComponent we have: "The BuildComponent class represents binary files that correspond to deployable components, for example executable files."

    Obviously the input source elements being consumed in the example are .c and .h files, which are not binary.

    So is BuildComponent the right class to use for input source elements or is the description of the class incorrect?

  • Disposition: Resolved — KDM 1.4
  • Disposition Summary:

    Add definitions of BuildComponent, BuildProduct, Library

    Rename Library to BuildLibrary for consistency.
    The description of BuildProduct and BuildLibrary are missing. Definition of a BuildComponent is actually related to (missing) BuildProduct. A BuildProduct defines the product of a build process.
    A Library is a collection of InventoryItems (usually BinaryFiles, or SourceFiles) which is used as an intermediate product of a build process.
    BuildComponent can be described as any collection of InventoryItems. A BinaryComponent defines SourceFlles as inputs to BuildSteps or any other anonymous collections of resources as they are used as inputs of outputs of a build process.
    The intention is to identify sources and targets of BuildStep as sets of InventoryItem (in fact, the definition is more general and will accept any KDMEntity).

    With this interpretation the example on page 306 is correct.

Gap in KDM Platform Package

  • Key: KDM14-69
  • Legacy Issue Number: 15924
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Benchmark Consulting ( Alain Picard)
  • Summary:

    In the platform package we don't seem to have any direct way to express relations between AbstractPlatformElement and InventoryElement. A good example is how to describe the file in the inventory model that represents a certain deployed component.

    AbstractPlatformElement has a source relation to a SourceRef but here we're not dealing with a Source inventory element (not sure how often PlatformElement would really need this relation). The Build package uses the implementation relation which points to KDM entity to describe relations to inventory elements. Again here in the platform package this points to AbstractCodeElement only.

    I hate to have to use stereotypes to build such a basic relation.

  • Source: Open Canarias, SL ( Victor Sanchez)
  • Summary:

    At the start of page 224, a 'Flow' is defined that goes to="id.47" from="id.44". This should be conditional ('FalseFlow'), since 'WITH TEST AFTER' is not used in the 'PERFORM' statement. This would be consistent with the 'FalseFlow' defined in 'id.64'. Suggestion: Move 'id.64' up to before the loop starts (after id.44) and remove the unconditional 'Flow' from 'id.44'. This improves action element arrangement with respect to their associated Cobol code snippets. Also, action elements corresponding to Cobol statements subordinated to the inline PERFORM appear at the same indentation level as action element 'id.64'. If this action element is indeed moved up, those dependent action elements should probably become part of its 'codeElement' children.

    Multiple corrections in RecordFile example

    The RecordFile example introduces ExceptionFlow in the corresponding DataModel. The base code model does not represent these flows because the semantics of exceptions is determined by the data model, not the code model (this is the KDM split, eventhough in Cobol they are both defined as part of the programming language)
    So, we will move the UNTIL condition to the top of the loop, as proposed, since the default for PERFORM UNIL is indeed WITH TEST BEFORE. We will also fix few related issues.

Change specification to allow stereotyping of Audit elements

  • Key: KDM14-58
  • Legacy Issue Number: 14107
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Benchmark Consulting ( Alain Picard)
  • Summary:

    Currently the KDM doesn’t allow for the stereotyping of Audit elements since those inherit from Element and not ModelElement.

    We believe that this is an oversight, as a reading of the specification uses the Audit element by name as one of the possible owner of a stereotype (10.5.1 constraint #5: KDM

    meta-elements (for example, “KDMEntity,” or “Audit”)) or the endpoint to a TaggedRef (10.5.2 constraint #4: KDM meta-element (for example, “KDMEntity,” or

    “Audit”))

    We are proposing the following changes to restore this capability that was clearly intended to exist in the first place:

    · Move the stereotype relation from ModelElement to Element

    · Change the endpoint of the reference relation in TaggedRef to now point to Element instead of ModelElement

    · Change all text that refers to ModelElement as being subject to extension in favor of Element

    Another possible approach that might be simpler is to derived the Audit from ModelElement instead of Element. Probably the only issue at hand is if it fits the definition given in 9.3.2 as being an element of the existing software system or not. That is a bit of a stretch here, but we could see this as being argued either way in the case of Audit.

This order is typically undefined in the programming language and depends on the linker and the order in which modules are built. 6) KDM implementation shall determining appropriate owner for the init blocks. 6) KDM implementation shall provide appropriate chaining of init blocks across separate CompilationUnits within a CodeAssembly through the "master" init block in the CodeAssembly.

    Change the endpoint of TraceableTo relation to make it work

    Here is the solution that will work:

    • use the same approach as SourceRef. Introduce a new element called Track. Let every KDMEntity own it. Add the definition to SourceRef class diagram. The definition has to be in the kdm package, not in Core.
    • the TraceableTo relation will now be from Track to any KDMEntity. The original proposal was only to an InventoryItem, but there is actually need for a more flexible traceability mechanism.
    • the element Track shall be extendable.

    In addition, re-define SourceRef ownership in the same way, in the SourceRef class diagram, from KDMEntity, instead of defining this ownership in every XXXInheritance class diagram from AbstractXXXElement. This actually amount to the same thing, as the union of all AbstractXXXElement is equal KDMEntity.

Lack of support for SourceRef to a non-plain text resource

    This issue is related to KDM14-69.
    Current KDM allows SourceRef to reference SourceRegion element, which assumes a plain text target. While this does cover the main use case, there are multiple other use cases. This situation is significantly mitigated by the addition of the new TraceableTo relation. However, we still need a capability to refer to non-plain text regions.

Ownership of AggregatedRelations is inconsistent

  • Key: KDM14-214
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: KDM Analytics ( Dr. Nikolai Mansourov)
  • Summary:

    The current definition of who owns AggreagtedRelation is inconsistent.
    1) KDM 1.3. says that "Overall management and lifecycle of the Aggregated Relationships is determined by the operations of the KDMEntity class."
    2) the operation createAggregation( otherEntity ) is defined for the KDMEntity
    The descriptive text says: "The new aggregated relationship is owned by the model to which owns the current entity (either directly or indirectly through container ownership)."

    3) Figure 10.1 says that KDMModel owns AggreatedRelation. This is consistent by the descriptive text.
    4) on the other hand, this is not symmetric to the explicit relations, which are owned by the KDMEntity (Figure 9.3 for AggregatedRelations is not consistent with Figure 9.2 for explicit relations)
    5) Figure 19.1 says that AbstractStructureElement owns AggregatedRelations. This is consistent with Figure 9.2, but not consistent with Figure 10.1

    The API on page 31, section 9.5.2 is consistent in itself and can be implemented with either ownership (model or entity). However, it does not make a lot of sense to let the KDMEntity create its AggregatedRelation with another entity, and then pass the ownership to some model. The implementation with the model ownership is more complex.

    Also, in case of density==1 when the explicit relation is the only aggregated instance, two relations are owned in a different way.

    Also, implementing the deleteAggregation api becomes less straightforward, requires access to a Model.

    Recommendation is to make Figure 9.3 consistent with Figure 9.2 and
    remove ownership of AggregatedRelation in Figures 10.1 and 19.1

KDM does not distinguish between C++ pointer and reference

  • Key: KDM14-166
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: KDM Analytics ( Dr. Nikolai Mansourov)
  • Summary:

    Specification text must be clarified regarding semantics of "pointers".

    Current KDM has PointerType which is aligned with ISO 11404 pointer datatype. This datatype is actually a reference. According to the description of "pointer" datatype in ISO 11404:
    "pointer generates a datatype, called a pointer datatype, each of whose values constitutes a means of reference to values of another datatype, designated the element datatype. The values of a pointer datatype are atomic."

    So, the following C++ int i; int *pi=&i; int & ri=i;
    shall be represented by the same KDM, so "ext" attribute could be used to distinguish between them. The two DataElement can be also distinguished by their initialization.

    IntegerType id="int" name="int"
    PointerType id="tpi" name="pint"
    – ItemUnit id="itpi" type="int" ext="int* tpi"
    PointerType id="tri" name="rint"
    – ItemUnit id="itri" type="int" ext="int& tri"

    StorableUnit id="i" name="i" type="int" ext="int i"
    StorableUnit id="pi" name="pi" type="pint"
    – HasType p
    – HasValue a1

    StorableUnit id="ri" name="ri" type="rint"
    – HasType r
    – HasValue i

    ActionElement id="a1" kind="Ptr"
    – Addresses i

    The corresponding C++ uses are represented by the following KDM:
    i=1;

    ActionElement id="a1" kind="Assign"
    – Reads 1
    – Writes i

    (*pi)=1;

    ActionElement id="a1" kind="PtrReplace"

    – Reads 1

Representation of InventoryItems

  • Key: KDM14-131
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: KDM Analytics ( Dr. Nikolai Mansourov)
  • Summary:

    Currently the KDM specification for inventory model will represent each file source and/or binary file within the context of a directory structure as shown in the following fragment:
    <directory xmi:type="source:Directory" name="test" path="/home/sample/test" xmi:id="4">
    <attribute tag="link:id" value="test"/>
    <directory xmi:type="source:Directory" name="Pirates-2.1" path="/home/sample/test/Pirates-2.1" xmi:id="5">
    <attribute tag="link:id" value="Pirates-2.1">
    <directory xmi:type="source:Directory" name="src" path="/home/sample/test/Pirates-2.1/src" xmi:id="6">
    <attribute tag="link:id" value="src"/>
    <binaryFile xmi:type="source:BinaryFile" name="Tasks.o" path="/home/sample/test/Pirates-2.1/src/Tasks.o" xmi:id="7">
    <attribute tag="link:id" value="Tasks.o"/>
    </binaryFile>

    Spec does not state that "name" should be an absolute path but internally code will need to walk the object tree to compare if two files are the same at the expense of memory & resources.

    Could we just refer to "file" just as a discrete absolute path instead? This may reduce the code level complexity and reduce resource consumption during the processing of large projects. Currently we need to break down each file into its component parts which has resulted in coding errors (PRs) and forces the developer to manage a number of objects instead of dealing with a single discrete entity.

    Could we use URL instead of path? Apart from the ability to point to network level entities may further improve the implementation the KDM SDK and application level software. I also like this idea since it highlights that "file" may (which in the case of a service is always) is not referring to a file on the native file system. Application should not make is assumption as this may lead to incorrect KDM data representation.

    I would also like to use MD5 as a file ID. Currently the extractor is able to tell if a file has been modified over time or is a duplicate of another file. Thinking that a URL + MD5 attribute would be a solid foundation for inventory entries.

    Second, they are described in the table under A.4. Control Actions. This would imply that they are used for control, but I don't understand why that would be the case. Furthermore, these ActionElements would have only an Addresses relationship, but that does not match the definition of an Addresses class (access to complex data structure/pointer).

Handling of Java enums

  • Key: KDM14-72
  • Legacy Issue Number: 16167
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Benchmark Consulting ( Alain Picard)
  • Summary:

    We found a bug in our Java KDM implementation, but after review it sneak in because of the fact that Java enum are special classes and thus can have their own methods.

    In 12.10 the KDM defines EnumeratedType which subsets the ownerElement relation to the value relation against Value.

    In 12.15, ClassUnit subsets that relation to codeElement against CodeItem, allowing MethodUnit children among other things.

    So, how would you represent a Java enum, as an EnumeratedType but then what do you do with the Methods defined in the enum, or as a ClassUnit and then what do you do with the Values.

    Or can we define the Java enum as a ClassUnit that will contain the class behavior of the enum, with an HasType relation to an EnumaratedType instance that will hold the value and the representation of the enum portion?

    Thanks for your insight in clarifying this situation.

AbstractConceptualElement is required to have one and only one role

  • Key: KDM14-73
  • Legacy Issue Number: 16633
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Benchmark Consulting ( Stephane Vaucher [X] (Inactive))
  • Summary:

    In the Conceptual package (Section 20) of the KDM specification, there is a constraint described in Fig. 20.4, that forces an AbstractConceptualElement to be associated to one and only one ConceptualRole. This does not seem to be justified by the description of a ConceptualRole. Furthermore, the example provided in Section 20.6.1 does not respect this constraint. In this example, there are two rule units that define 2 different roles that are associated to the same fact.

    The impact of this requirement is that a Term Unit cannot be play a role in multiple FactUnits, and a FactUnit cannot play a role in multiple RuleUnits. If this is correct, a clarification would be advisable.

    Some of the AbstractCodeElements are BlockUnits. I would have used EntryFlows instead of regular Flows, but that might be a matter of choice.
    1. TryUnit entryFlow> ActionElement[kind='Call'] not required?
    2. I see that we need to create new Exception to send. That's the revision I attached. I did a pass to do the changes, but I hope I got the numbering right (done manually).

    <!-- Create the Exception, no constructor called -->

    Change stereotype from datatype into primitive. This makes KDM core consistent with the UML Infrastructure specification.

This is likely because they were using a Visio stencil to produce some of the diagrams. However, the intended representation in CMOF is that of an instance of PrimitiveType, as in the current KDM.

Merge ClassUnit and InterfaceUnit

  • Key: KDM14-127
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: KDM Analytics ( Dr. Nikolai Mansourov)
  • Summary:

    This issue is related to KDM14-20

    Problem: During the code model generation for Java we want to identify which class are in fact interfaces. Problem is that we basically need to identify which classes are interfaces upfront or have the ability to convert KDM "class unit" to "interface unit". However, both the objects presenting these both inherit from datatype but at the java code level one can't convert (i.e.) cast from ClassUnit to InterfaceUnit.

    Question: from an implementation point of view would it better to have a class object with an Interface attribute? For example the ClassUnit object has isAbstract. Can we implement isInterface to ClassUnit?

    This change will make it easier to change the type of a given KDM object.

    Note: Java 1.8 will start to allow code in interface specifications which will blur the lines between interface/class specifications.

    Description: As per issue JP7 raised by the Japan delegation to ISO during the KDM review, it was stated that “Existing software based systems have the relationship among packages. But this standard doesn't mention it precisely. (Conceptually, this shows package structure.)”. The suggested resolution was to Describe it using Package diagram. KDM 1.1 RTF decided not to replace the existing architectural illustration of the layers (as per issue resolution 13828) with the UML package diagram in order not to complicate the introductory part of the specification and not to complicate the maintenance of the formal machine readable documents of the specification. Also, the UML package diagram was not considered to be detailed enough. However, useful detailed relations between packages can be added as a non-normative appendix to the specification.
