Issues Descriptions

Allow PatternSection:body to refer to more than a simple string

  • Key: SPMS13-19
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Dr. Jason McC. Smith)
  • Summary:

    The PatternSection class currently only allows a simple string for the body attribute. It would be much more useful if it were to allow any MOF::Element based entity to represent the body. This would allow for not only richer text, but also diagrams, a remote URI (as a structured URI, not just a string), or other expression.

    Note that the image in Figure 8.1 and the XMI file in SPMS 1.2 were both correct, this only affects the prose in Section 8.5.

  • Reported: SPMS 1.2 — Tue, 7 May 2024 03:53 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — SPMS 1.3b1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Redefine PatternSection:body as a MOF::Element

    PatternSection:body will be an attribute of type MOF::Element instead of string. This requires changing both the descriptive text in Section 8.5 and Figure 8.1 to match.

MultiplicityStyle options are discussed in Section 12.6, not in the locations where cause effect

  • Key: SPMS13-5
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Dr. Jason McC. Smith)
  • Summary:

    Section 12.6 discusses Multiplicity of PINboxes and Equalities, but does so a bit oddly. While it may have made sense to discuss the topic in one place, the effects are seen in PINbox, Equality, and BindingGlyph classes. It probably makes more sense (particularly for PINbox, where the Stacked view is dependent not on an explicit enum, but on an implicit multiplicity of its instances association), to move this discussion into the relevant sections.

    Only moving the PINbox discussion would be acceptable, but clarifying text ought to be added to Equality and BindingGlyph as well.

    Leaving the bulk of the Equality and BindingGlyph discussion in Sec 12.6 would then make sense, and it, coupled with Sec 12.7, would make for a good set of topics for guidance on visualization techniques that do not directly rely on the metamodel. (Peeling & Coalescing in particular is a UX behavior that does not currently have a reflection in the metamodel.)

  • Reported: SPMS 1.2 — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 05:11 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — SPMS 1.3b1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Provided forward pointing hints, instead of moving sections.

    While moving the Multiplicity sections was an option, no edits were satisfying, and instead this approach makes the minimal change that accomplishes much of the same goal.

    A forward hint is added to each of Sections 12.3, 12.4 and 12.5 that refer to Section 12.6. These inform the reader of an additional twist to each situation, that will be discussed in detail in 12.6.

Remove hanging content in Section 14


Figure shows incorrect relationship

  • Key: SPMS13-2
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Dr. Jason McC. Smith)
  • Summary:

    In Figure 8.1 - Definitions Package, there is a directed association from PatternElement to Formalisms::FormalizedDefinition.

    This should be coming from PatternDefinition. The text in Section 8.3 PatternDefinition is correct, the figure is not.

  • Reported: SPMS 1.2 — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 05:01 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — SPMS 1.3b1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Modified Figure 8.1 as needed

    Moved the root of the directed association to SPMS:Formalisms:PatternDefinition from PatternElement, to PatternDefinition, to match the correct text in Sec 8.3.

Potentially rework Figure 16.1 - Reliances package

  • Key: SPMS13-6
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Dr. Jason McC. Smith)
  • Summary:

    This is a very convoluted diagram, and may benefit from providing multiple instances of both RES::Field and RES::Method at the top to help reduce the number of crossing lines.

  • Reported: SPMS 1.2 — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 05:13 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — SPMS 1.3b1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Reworked Fig 16.1 for clarity

    Moved items around for better spatial arrangement. No content changes.

  • Summary:

  • Disposition Summary:

    Add required description.
