In
terms of the 'business side of the equation', I thought that we had agreed on
Business DEX (Specification) rather than the other way around (DEX Business
Specification).
A
Business DEX will be the same as a PLCS DEX but will also specify business
context, business terms & concepts and will have references to the relevant
capabilities, templates and reference data - or maybe someone can correct me,
but I do think that we need to agree/decide on whether all this things are
actually contained within a Business DEX or whether the Business DEX
contains 'pointers' that refer out to these (and/ or other)
things.
Regards,
Martin.
I have added some details to the definitions to clarify
(or confuse!)
DEX = Data Exchange
Specification = the definition in DEXlib
DEX file = electronic file
(P21/P28) with actual instance data conforming to
(complete or sections of) a DEX
Data Exchange Set =
a term grouping all PLCS entities and attributes identified by a
DEX
Do we also have any agreement on the business side of the
equation? Some called it just a "DEX Business
Specification".
To me the DBS is a specification describing the terms and
business concepts of the domain which are then defined using the PLCS entities
according to the DEX referenced.
Regards,
Tim

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'

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!

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)

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.

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.

Rob
