The description of Admit Data Time in the ADT A01 file does not provide enough information to find the data item in the ADT file.

  • Key: MDMI2_-2
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: MDIX, Inc. ( Kenneth Lord)
  • Summary:

    The term Admit Data Time used in the example is not correct because Admit Date Time has more syntax than it just in the ADT A01 file.

The term "MDMI Semantic Element" is incorrect.

  • Key: MDMI2_-1
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: MDIX, Inc. ( Kenneth Lord)
  • Summary:

    The term "MDMI Semantic Element" is incorrect because it represents a proper name and its class name, MDMISemanticElement, should be used.

  • Reported: MDMI 2.0b1 — Tue, 23 Aug 2022 20:37 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — MDMI 2.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Change "MDMI Semantic Element" to "MDMISemanticElement" (no spaces)

    The term "MDMI Semantic Element" is the proper name of the class MDMISemanticElement in the specification and therefore the term has been changed throughout the document to MDMISemanticElement.

    See attached document for specific locations.

The file Dtc-22-09-06.xmi was corrupted on recovery

  • Key: MDMI2_-51
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: MDIX, Inc. ( Kenneth Lord)
  • Summary:

    The file went missing but was recovered. It appears that the recovery munged some of the text.

    Reviewer comments:
    Lots of elements are strangely duplicated, like Bag, SemanticElementSet, Node, SimpleMessageComposite, ToBusinessElement, MessageSyntaxModel, etc. As I recall, this was one of the files that was lost. I think the recovery was an implosive mix.

Normative RDF

  • Key: MDMI2_-33
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: MDIX, Inc. ( Kenneth Lord)
  • Summary:

    Should this be identified as an RDF/OWL file?
    I did find documentation in the RDF file, thank you! However, it might not be aligned with your specification. For example, hasAuthorPersonLegalName is in the RDF, but not in the specification or XMI.
    Looking at the RDF itself, I find the following at the beginning that I have questions about:
                    <!ENTITY dct "http://purl.org/dc/terms/">
                    <!ENTITY mdmi-gsm "https://www.omg.org/spec/MDMI/MDMIGenericStatementModel/">
                    <!ENTITY owl "http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#">
                    <!ENTITY rdf "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
                    <!ENTITY rdfs "http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#">
                    <!ENTITY skos "http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#">
                    <!ENTITY sm "http://www.omg.org/techprocess/ab/SpecificationMetadata/">
                    <!ENTITY xsd "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#">
     
    Questions:
    1. Should these be in normative references in the spec?
    2. What is the reason for the choices in these standards (annex?)?
    3. Except for the minor reference to OWL, there is no other mention of RDF and these related standards. I’m assuming this is important information that is missing from the specification, given that this is a normative machine-readable file.

Lead in the specification scope needs clarification

  • Key: MDMI2_-31
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: MDIX, Inc. ( Kenneth Lord)
  • Summary:

    You are burring the lead in the specification scope. I suggest starting with the Scope section with the remainder of the second paragraph: “The goal of the MDMI standard is to provide a declarative, model-driven mechanism…” The remainder text can then follow as background. A better scope will help with adoption as you will be leading with what the spec is to do.
