Subject: Re: [ws-calendar] Please review PIM WD03 - specific questions and requests for corrections


The subject says it all... please take a look at this email and PIM WD03.

We should plan on discussing these issues at the 15 February meeting.

Thanks!

I posted WD03 of the WS-Calendar PIM last night. PDF public link is https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/48102/ws-calendar-pim-v1.0-wd03.pdf ; DOCX public link (for your detailed suggestions and corrections :-) is https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/48101/ws-calendar-pim-v1.0-wd03.docx .

There are a number of areas that can use improvement as we head toward public review. References are to line and page numbers in the PDF at the URI above.

In summary they are:

(1) Ensure that only necessary components are in the model
(2) Align model component names to those in WS-Calendar
(3) Ensure that there's a clear naming convention (see Setion 1.5, line 46)
(4) Eliminate remaining XSD influences (e.g. "anyURI" in LinkType - see lines 276-283)
(5) Write more clearly on the nature of WS-Calendar wrt parameters, properties, and value types (Section 5 line 350ff)
(6) Clarify the unbound state and how that reflects in the UML model (see e.g. section 2.6 and 3.6.1)
(7) Consider ToleranceValueType and the apparent circularity with respect to DurationValueType (section 3.9)
(8) Availability and Vavailability -- what is needed in the PIM? Should this be deferred until completion of Vavailability so that the abstraction doesn't need to change? Suggestions?
(9) Conformance (Section 6 line 363ff): the changes aren't visible, but are minor and the same as the previous draft. 
(10) Thoughts on other elements of Intervals, line 452ff - not sure how relevant these conformance requirements are; partitions seem to be moving toward a streams representation in part, and the other elements (Description, Summary, Priority) aren't in the PIM. Should they be?
(11) Improved text for section 3.4 (line 188ff) on primitive types. Are the references and description right?
(12) Comments on all other YELLOW highlighted text


Of course, any other suggestions to improve clarity, focus, and usability are welcome.

Thanks!
