If all elements in Argumentation, Terminology, Artifact and AssuranceCase can be considered as artifacts the assertion that one or more artifact provide context for another artifact; and the assertion that one or more artifact support another artifact needs to be captured.

Use “artifact” instead of “artefact” is needed to make incorporation of SACM into The Open Group standards more practical.

ArtifactAssetRelationship can be simplified by removing all its sub-classes. The purpose of an ArtifactAssetRelationship can then be recorded by the property +property:Property in the ArtifactAsset class.

deferred

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.

deferred

In Argumentation package, AssertedRelationship should directly express if it is a counter relationship.

deferred

There is currently no direct mechanism to support internationalization in SACM content.

deferred

In packages (e.g. ArgumentPackage, TerminologyPackage), atomic references are too complicated.

deferred

Citations can be simplified by removing them from Argumentataion, Artifact and Terminology classes and replacing them with +isCitation and +citedElement properties in SACMElement in the Base classes.

deferred

The ability to create patterns (e.g. AssuranceCase patterns, ArgumentPackage patterns, etc) that contain only abstract SACMElements is needed and the patterns should be re-usable.

deferred

To support multiple stakeholder views and purposes a mechanism for associating SACMElements is needed.

deferred

Need to add internationalization of the languages used so that elements can be described using multiple languages

deferred

There are unnecessary differences between the Assurance Case, Terminology, Argument, and Artifact package definitions, interfaces, and bindings.

deferred

There are several areas where the work packages for addressing issues 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, or 12 missed changes, additions, and deletions to support internationalization and package simplification. Additionally, there are several style issues in the text that need to be made consistent.
