Discussion March 2020
Initial question: what are semcons and what are no semcons?
- Questions
- Definition
- Suggestion:
A semantic constraint is a constraint that cannot be implemented in an XSD. - What is obviously a semcon?
- What is obviously not a semcon?
- Element semantics and attribute semantics - otherwise every element semantics and attribute semantics would be a semcon (although it is potentially dangerous to put the dead weight under <vehicle>@nettoWeight and the load capacity under <vehicle>@tareWeight).
- Intentions (about the function of a certain Element/Attribute)
- Recommendations
- Best Practices
- Conclusions from syntactic constraints and/or element/attribute semantics
- Explanations of semantic constraints
- Cf. [1]→[2]
- Suggestion:
- Goals
- Interoperability?
- Do they apply to the developer or the user?
- Who can control/guarantee compliance?
- Design
- Allow/deny the recycling of discarded numbers?
- Creating semantic constraints
- Suggestion and Discussion
- either in the railML® Forum
- or in a railML® working group
→in this case the working group must present their discussion result in the forum and grant a term for discussion there
- Enter the semcon with status proposed into the wiki
- If there are no objections, the semcon becomes accepted after a certain term (6 weeks)
- In case of objections the working group decides
- Design guidelines
- Use the template with all mandatory arguments
The template must be extended with an argument to link to the discussion as to grant that the proposal is preceded by a discussion - Implement a seperate semcon for every rule
- Record on Dev:Semantic_Constraints/table
- numbering according to Dev:Semantic_Constraints/table
Distinctions within element documentations
- Position of times in the XML-Tree: straightforward from the schema
- Multiplicity: straightforward from the schema
- Semantics: Only the intention. No rules or explanations. Concise remarks like “not to be confused with” are allowed, if they explain the intention
- Attributes: No rules or explanations. Concise remarks like “not to be confused with” are allowed, if they explain the intention
- Syntactic constraints: straightforward from the schema
- semantic constraints: compare above
- Best Practice Examples: for instance national rules and peculiarities; Code examples
- Open Issues: open discussions and unsolved problems
- Notes: Anything that does not fit into other paragraphs
- Where can you comment on the semantics in wiki3?
