Re: [sca-policy] ISSUE 15: External Attachment - AI 20080331-01

Folks,

I can never resist a word-smithing challenge
  ;-)

"All components will have an @uri attribute which
contains the URI 
of the component. The URI reflects a particular use
of the component
- a component within a composite is potentially present
multiple times
in the Domain, where its composite is used as an implementation
by more than one higher level component. The URI is
constructed by 
recursively concatenating the component URI of each
component in the 
implementation hierarchy above it. This makes it possible
to write 
XPath expressions that target a single instance of
a nested component."


...what provoked me to this rewording
was that single word "buried" towards the end of Dave's proposal,
which touched a nerve somewhere....

Subject	[sca-policy] ISSUE 15: External Attachment - AI 20080331-01

I took an AI to resolve a seemingly minor wording problem in the current
Policy ISSUE 15 proposal.

The paragraph in question is this:

      All components will have @uri attributes (not just
domain-level
      components), which contain the URI of the component.
The URI will
      contain path elements from all of the composites that
the component
      is embedded under. This makes it possible to write
XPath expressions
      that target a single buried component.

The sentence in question is trying to say the component URI is constructed
by concatenating the component URI of each component in the implementation
hierarchy.  So this leads me to:

      All components will have @uri attributes (not just
domain-level
      components), which contain the URI of the component.
The URI is
      constructed by recursively concatenating the component
URI of each
      component in the implementation hierarchy above it.
This makes it
      possible to write XPath expressions that target a
single buried
      component.


On the call we discussed the need for a short phrase or word that means
'a
component that is implemented by a composite'.  Some suggestions have
been
floated, none were good IMHO.  I'm side stepping that discussion with
this
proposal. :-)

This complete my AI.
