IISOMI Action Items review (every meeting)

Note:

• Do not copy actions from previous minutes, just reference minutes (or add bullet versions of the actions as reminders)
• New actions are added to the minutes of the current meeting and dated using the "task list" control

Note: Check the action item list and check for tasks that have passed their due date.

• If the due date is past, determine if the issue is still active
  • If the task is active, mark the over-due task as completed, and create a new task with a new due date in the minutes
  • If the task is not active, (i.e. not going to be progressed at this time), simply close the task and make a note in the minutes that the task was closed.

Actions discussed

• Moved the deadline of Bernd Zeuner " Update the Modelling Guidelines accordingly" to 11 Jun 2021 as next week the IISOMI call is cancelled.
• Scott Mansfield clarifies that Gendoc tool and uml2yang tool are independent issues.
  • Scott Mansfield needs some more time to recover the development environment to continue on uml2yang tool improvements.

Not discussed on May 21st 

Scott Mansfield presented the Model2Doc feature from Papyrus

• still in pre-release state
• need to install Model2Doc tool integrated into Eclipse 2021-03 (nightly build) and Papyrus 5.1 (nightly) and Model2Doc (0.8.0 nightly)
• requires Java version greater than 11
• creates Word files
• need to check if Model2Doc provides at least the functionality of Gendoc
• Gendoc does not work with newer Papyrus versions (see below)
  
• Further investigation is required
• Work continues to create a model2doc template that produces the same material as the gendoc template (class/attribute/datatype/stereotype etc.)

• GenDoc didn't generate constraint
  • None of the constraints is retrieved from the model
  • E.g., 
• GenDoc didn't generate the Interface definitions
  • None of the Interfaces and its operations are retrieved from the model
• GenDoc didn't generate the Type of pointed external (imported) classes
  • External class means a class imported from another model and used as the type of a navigable attribute (association end)
  • E.g., 
  • The external model should be imported in a proper way
  • This is not a GenDoc issue
• GenDoc OstigOTtpSource::txti:EByte multiplicity [64] is not generated correctly
  • Solution: [if(p.lower=p.upper)][p.lower/][else][p.lower/]..[if(p.upper=-1)]*[else][p.upper/][/if][/if]

•  Scott Mansfield11 Jun 2021 to look at all GenDoc issues above and try to find solutions

Updates on May 28:

• Scott Mansfield presents some examples of possible output formats of interfaces/operations.
• Discussion whether is preferable
  • a top table listing all operations, followed by the tables dedicated to the parameters of each operation, or
  • interleave the operations and their parameters, i.e.
    1. operation 1
    2. general properties of operation 1
    3. table with the parameters of operation 1
    4. operation 2
    5. etc.
  • Hing-Kam Lam prefers the top table listing all operations.
  • Scott Mansfield will take Bernd Zeuner examples to see how the result of interleaving is.
• Italo Busi points out that the table with the operation parameters risks to be too dense.
  • We could explore a split of the parameters table with
    1. table with all parameters and their main characteristics, followed by
    2. tables expanding all the other properties of each single parameter
• Andrea Mazzini shows an example (from MEF draft) where the template drives an operation format similar to class format.
• Agreed to keep the name of the stereotypes in the output format.
• No final agreement on a specific format, discussion to be continued.
