RE: [obix] Re: Figure 4-1 needs an update

Excellent point, Bill. If the new schemas generate a UML diagram that looks wrong, that is good QC on the entire process. The more closely the UML is dependent on the schema (and it cannot be completely, alas, as they have different purposes and emphases), the higher quality our product.

It is all too easy for parallel evolution of the two to diverge.

That works for me. I also need to work with schema updates insofar as they affect the model.

I’m planning to post wd14 today with the rework of Chapter 4 that was discussed in the last meeting along with a few of the issues I’ve addressed so far. Per Toby’s response about retaining the tag in the upper left until we finalize it, I’d say don’t attach any urgency to it at the moment. If you could just make a note that the “out” facet in feed needs to change to “of”, then you could probably update it as wd15, and not worry about doing it before today. I’ll include it in the next round of changes.

Thanks!

Craig -

I'm on the road right now, back Thursday (may be able to call in to the meeting).

I'll look at the changes and update; what WD will this be for?

Thanks!

I think versioning the image is useful until it stabilizes. Nothing is more annoying (I know from bitter experience) than letting an old version of a key diagram creep into a spec. When it stabilizes, and long before the next public review, we should remove the version.

Subject: [obix] Figure 4-1 needs an update

Bill-

I think we need to modify Figure 4.1 some. I believe obix:feed should specify the “of” attribute instead of the “out” attribute. Also, could we remove the tag in the upper left corner specifying “class obj obix-v1.1-wd13”, as this references a working draft doc? If you could provide a png, jpg, or whatever, I’ll be happy to stick into my next working draft.

Thanks

Craig
