Subject: RE: [office-formula] Separation of concerns - Chapter 4
Another way to deal with this is to define in OpenFormula Chapter 4 or elsewhere a set of parameters (not OpenDocument attribute values) that establish the (dynamic) environment for the semantics of a given OpenFormula formula occurrence and its evaluation. In ODF 1.2 Part 1, there needs to be some statement of how those parameters on which OpenFormula depends are determined in the case of an OpenFormula occurrence (e.g., from some attribute, global setting, other characteristics of a table cell, or simply specified in the Part 1 spec as a fixed case for all ODF 1.2 documents). This may vary for each different way an OpenFormula formula can occur in and ODF document. (There is more than just table:formula in a <table:table-cell>.) I see this as a powerful step to take, because by making OpenFormula as orthogonal to ODF as we can (that is, separating the concerns), the rigor of its use in ODF will be much-improved. - Dennis PS: I don't think this will tell us much about portability, and we should not collapse the two. Portability has more than one level of concern and it is not clear what sort of conformance clause in ODF 1.2 Part 1 would work against any sort of portability target in ODF 1.2 Part 2. Best to wrestle with that separately. -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Durusau [mailto:patrick@durusau.net] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-formula/200912/msg00034.html Sent: Tuesday, December 08, 2009 06:32 To: office-formula@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [office-formula] Separation of concerns - Chapter 4 Greetings! So, if we are going to separate out the concerns of parts 1 and 2 as documents and formulas respectively, may I assume that all the statements in chapter 4 about OpenDocument attribute values and their meanings simply goes away?
