This
gets my vote!
I
knew you'd get there in the end ;-)
Do we
need to get an official vote on this so that it can be recorded
somewhere?
Martin.
Nigel and I has reached a
consensus.
DEX = Data Exchange
Specification = the definition in DEXlib
DEX file =
electronic file with actual data conforming to (complete or sections of) a
DEX
Data Exchange Set =
a term grouping all PLCS entities and attributes identified by a
DEX
Further
comments?
Regards,
Mats

Summary:
DEX = Data Exchange Specification = the definition
in DEXlib
DEX file = electronic file with actual data
conforming to (complete or sections of) a
DEX
Data Exchange Set = a term grouping all PLCS
entities and attributes identified by a
DEX
Correct?

Mats

The Information displayed, following the selection of a DEX
through the menu in DEXLib, is the DEX 'specification'. The
entities and attributes identified in that specification comprise the DEX
data 'set'
Best I can do :-)
Set or Specification or both?
Howard did not specify...
What is your opinion?
Regards,
Mats
The term 'Set' was introduced when we were
discussing the scope of 'data set' that should
be defined by the DEX specification. Howard's contribution has
my vote - and we should not shy away from CCs either!
Nigel
At the risk of being contentious, we tend to refer
to a STEP AP and its conformance classes. Without wishing to
equate a PLCS DEX with a STEP conformance class in detail, they are at
the same level.
A conformance class is a specification, and
individual conforming blocks of data are files.
Also we never defined the silent "s" in
DEX.
This kind of suggests to me that DEX is the
specification (Data EXchange (set or specification)) and an instance is
a DEX(-compliant) file.

Chris,
My opinion is that we still are at a point
where terminology could be changed, if it is useful and brings clarity
to our work. Still, more than 99.99998%* of the worlds population
is unaware of PLCS and its terminology (poor creatures...)
;o)
More opinions
wanted...

Mats

Martin and
Mats,
Although it is
a minor point, I think we should be careful about changing the
terminology at this point due to the recognition that Data Exchange Set
enjoys among most of our customers.
Just my 2 cents
before the snow storm here in West Virginia.

My view is
that it should be 'Data Exchange Specification'

Another
question: If I want to use the non-abbreviated term for 'DEX'. Should
I then pronounce/write it "Data exchange set" (which for my
swedish ears much sounds like file (file = a 'set' of data)) or
"Data exchange specification"?

Mats
Martin,
Thanks for
the clarification!
I'm ok with
that. As long as everyone understands eachother! 'DEX' and 'DEX file'
it is!

Mats

Hope you
enjoyed yesterday's telecon/meeting (as much as I
did!).
I'm not sure
it was mentioned within the telecon, but , you are correct in your
guess that the ToG Agreed that the term 'DEX' is synonymous with the
term 'DEX Specification' and that a 'DEX file' is indeed that file
which would be exchanged as part of a PLCS
implementation.

All,
Is the
visio diagram a result of the review of the concept model
draft?
It lacks some of the terms in the concept model
(DEX file,
Requirements, etc.) and it refers to 'DEX Specifications' as 'DEXs'.
I did not
attend the meeting. Is this what was agreed?
I like the
graphical layout though (except for the 'uses' arrow pointing to
'Business Reference Data' that has no
source...).
Should I
put it in the DEXlib information pages (new name for the help
section...) and in that way prepare it for
ballot?!
Maybe
something for the meeting this afternoon?
Regards,
Mats

Hi
Here are the
diagrams/spreadsheets that we developed in the
TOG.
We went through all DEXs
(apart from 5 and 9) and identified which capabilities were
required. We then looked at who as editing it and whether they were
funded. The spreadsheet reflects results of this.
We also reviewed the
concept model and produced the attached Visio
diagram.
Regards
Rob
