[sc34wg3] RM: A, AC arc, a-node, arc, arc [type] name, AT arc

[Patrick Durusau]

Greetings!

Another round of comments on the proposed glossary. I have indicated on 
the subject line the various items covered in each post.

Comments welcome!

REF: parid2101

TXT: As in "A-node": assertion. Every a-node is the nexus of an 
assertion, and the subject of every a-node is the relationship that is 
represented by the assertion of which it is the unique nexus.

FIX: Used in "'A' endpoint," "AT arc," "TA arc," "AC arc," "CA arc" as a 
synonym for a-node. See, a-node.
 
COM: Neeless repetition of the a-node definition and only part of that.
 
END:


REF: parid2262

TXT: As in "AT arc" or "AC arc": assertion. The node that serves as the 
A endpoint of an AT or AC arc is an a-node.
FIX: strike
 
COM: No longer needed with reformed parid2101.
 
END:


REF: parid2104

TXT: A connectedness between two nodes, with an a-node as one endpoint 
and a c-node as the other endpoint. An AC arc specifies that a playing 
of a specific role by a specific role player (i.e., a "casting" -- the 
subject of the c-node) is one aspect of the relationship that is the 
subject of the a-node.


FIX: An arc with an a-node as one endpoint and a c-node as the other 
endpoint.
 
COM: Removed connectedness, see definition of edge below. Further 
removed defining of the parts of the definition. The a-node and c-node 
references should lead readers to the definitions of those items. Helps 
prevent confusing and perhaps inaccurate restatement of the definitions 
for those items.
 
END:


REF: parid2107

TXT: An "assertion" node. The subject of an a-node is the relationship 
that is represented by an assertion; an a-node is the nexus of a 
specific assertion.

FIX: The required nexus of the relationship asserted by an assertion.
 
COM: Removed starting short sentence. Removed subject of a-node language 
which should be defined elsewhere. Removed repitition of the term being 
defined.
 
END:


REF: parid2270

TXT: An a-node serves as the A endpoint of two or more AC arcs. It may 
or may not serve as the A endpoint of an AT arc; i.e., the type of the 
assertion may or may not be explicit. Like all nodes, it may serve as 
the x endpoint of any number of Cx arcs. It cannot serve as any other 
endpoint types.

FIX: Behavior: Serves as the A endpoint of AC and AT arcs. May serve as 
x endpoint of any Cx arcs.
 
COM: Simplified explanation. The "may or may not serve as A endpoint..." 
is a comment on the structure of an assertion, that is that an assertion 
may not have an AT arc. Not relevant to definition of behavior of 
a-node, is relevant to defining structure of an assertion. "It cannot 
serve as any other endpoint types." is superfluous. The definition says 
what arcs it can serve as an endpoint and the point should not be belabored.
 
END:


REF: parid2110

TXT: A connectedness between two different nodes in the topic map graph. 
In Topic Maps, a single arc cannot have the same node at both of its 
endpoints. The connectednesses represented by arcs are symmetric and 
nondirectional.

FIX: Specifies the roles of nodes in an assertion by attributing types 
to two distinct nodes in the assertion.
 
COM: Removed connectedness, condensed to one sentence.
 
END:


REF: parid2113

TXT: An "arc name" (or "arc type name") is constructed from the names of 
the types of nodes that serve as its endpoints. There are four types of 
arcs, called "AT", "AC", "CR", and "Cx".

FIX: The name of an arc is constructed from the names of the types of 
nodes that serve as its endpoints. There are four types of arcs, called 
"AT", "AC", "CR", and "Cx".
 
COM: Removed repetition of term in definition.
 
END:


REF: parid2122

TXT: A connectedness between two nodes, with an a-node as one endpoint 
and a t-node as the other endpoint. An AT arc specifies that the subject 
of the t-node is the type of the relationship that is the subject of the 
a-node.

FIX: An arc with an a-node as one endpoint and a t-node as the other 
endpoint.
 
COM: Removed connectedness, see definition of edge below. Further 
removed defining of the parts of the definition. The a-node and t-node 
references should lead readers to the definitions of those items. Helps 
prevent confusing and perhaps inaccurate restatement of the definitions 
for those items.
