Action Items !!

["Durand, Jacques R." <JDurand@us.fujitsu.com>]

Summary of Action Items from last F2F: (we need to show progress on these by Wed Apr 16th meeting)

---------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Youngkon Lee:

 

- refine the use case illustrating possible use of a fourth value for the new "perscription level" TA element, besides the three basic values: mandatory / preferred / permitted.

(develop on what YL called "regulation" in his example that uses a MAY statement for a set of alternatives: that in fact is also an implicit MUST NOT use anything outside these alternatives. Can we define more generally this normative pattern?)

 

Patrick Curran:

 

- propose a wording for explaining that the value of a predicate has always a more definite meaning when "false" than when "true" (requirement violation can always be certain with "false", while requirement fulfillment with "true" has only value as an indication of conformance)

- propose a split in Glossary between central notions ("in scope") and peripheral notions (out of scope).  Any other glossary update?

 

 

Paul Rank:

 

- propose the right level way to introduce succinctly the other "optional" TA elements in new Section 2.

- also propose a definition for the new essential TA element: "prescription level"

- propose a write-up for "specification version" new section 3.6.

- draft the new section 3.3 Various Normative Sources

 

Stephen Greene:

 

- among other edits, move the "Prerequisites" section under Advanced Features (as 3.2).

- investigate "Negative testing" cases, and see if we can justify cases where TA predicate = "true" means : requirement violation.

- reorganize the guideline structure along recommendations from F2F (see previous email titled: "Summary of new Guideline structure")

- propose an update for "Grouping" - see i025. Grouping case(s) that does not use tags?

 

Jacques Durand:

 

- propose how TA Prerequisites can support new section 3.4.2- Specifications depending on each other. (extension to content of Prerequisite element?)

- draft subsection 3.5.1 on "TA Target classes", investigate external work on this.

- attempt at a more convincing case for issue 020 (subprime TA predicates)

 

Serm Kulvatunyou:

 

- Update a propose mark-up draft (XML schema and example) from the latest TA structure.

 

Possible external contribution :-)

 

- 3.7 Variables and Target Properties (use of variables inside a TA, use cases)
