Title: Message

This is a big capability but I tend to agree with Rob that slots are an intrinsic feature so should stay put.  It is (presumably) still possible to delete the slot entities when using the capability in a DEX. or has anyone added an "all or nothing" rule for using capabilities?  I do hope not, as that defeats a primary objective of PLCS - which should allow anyone to use what they need by building a new (and if necessary, non-standard) DEX.

Good question about splitting it into a separate capability.

My inclination is to keep it in the same capability as it is really a variation on the assembly so we would like all plcs translators that handle assemblies to be able to handle slots as well.

 

Just my opinion.

 

What ever we do – the product as realized capability should mirror.

Rob

Yes, you are correct Rob it doesn't - yet!

 

It is on my list though.

 

At the time there was a question about whether it should be split into a separate capability due to the size of the current capability already. I still don't have any feedback on this issue from anyone. Hearing nothing I will add to the current capability in the forthcoming week.

 

And yes, the current processor stuff needs to be moved.

 

Tim

Hi Tim

I have had a quick look at "representing_assembly_structure" and noticed that it does explain attachment slots at all.

The module is brought in - but there is description of the concept.

 

Also - the attribute descriptions and pre/pots processor descriptions are in the main body of the text.

They should be moved to the usage section.

 

Regards
Rob
