What
constitutes a majority in the TOG (and who's
counting?)
Martin.
If
there is a majority in the TOG then I believe the chairman should direct
Mats to write it into the DEXLib Introduction. Once there, it assumes the
status of a directive.
Nigel
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?

Summary:
DEX = Data Exchange Specification = the

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?

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

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?

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
