[sc34wg3] Erratta for TMRM, 13250-5

[Patrick Durusau]

Greetings,

NOTE: The following comments on erratta do NOT reflect changes in the 
draft currently under ballot. They are proposed changes to fix erratta 
in the current draft.

Erratta that the editors have spotted in the lastest draft:

1. Note 1 should be two notes.

The draft now reads:

> NOTE 1 How a property comes to appear in a subject proxy is
> deliberately unspecified. Properties may appear by any means,
> including but not limited to physical entry of the property,
> auto-generation by any means, or the operation of any TMA-disclosed
> rule, or any combination of such means.
> 
> To avoid constraining the designs of TMAs or their implementations,
> properties are not required to have names. However, TMAs are required
> to identify the properties they govern. TMAs must specify how that is
> accomplished.

It should be corrected to read:

NOTE 1 How a property comes to appear in a subject proxy is
deliberately unspecified. Properties may appear by any means,
including but not limited to physical entry of the property,
auto-generation by any means, or the operation of any TMA-disclosed
rule, or any combination of such means.

NOTE 2 To avoid constraining the designs of TMAs or their
implementations, properties are not required to have names. However,
TMAs are required to identify the properties they govern. TMAs must
specify how that is accomplished.

(This will require renumbering of the other notes. Their original
numbering is retained in this post for ease of reference.)

2. Note 2 says "describe specify"  -- "describe" should be deleted

The last sentence of the current note 2 reads:

> The term "subject proxy" refers to an abstraction used herein to
> describe specify the disclosures required for interchange of topic
> maps governed by the Topic Maps Data Model or any other Topic Map
> Applications.

It should be corrected to read:

The term "subject proxy" refers to an abstraction used herein to
specify the disclosures required for interchange of topic maps
governed by the Topic Maps Data Model or any other Topic Map
Applications.

(Note 2 will also be corrected to be Note 3 in the next draft.)

3. Note 3 will become Note 4.

4. Note 4 will become Note 5.

5. Note 5 will become Note 6.

6. The Note in Section 3 Topic Map Applications (TMAs), following # 4
in the list has no number. That note will become Note 7.

7. The last sentence of #6 in the list under Section 3 Topic Map
Applications (TMAs) reads:

> Rules for identification of a subject proxy with its governing TMA,
> and for associating each property of each class of subject proxy with
> whatever portions of the TMA disclosure are applicable to that
> component property.

The phrase "component property" should be amended to read: "property"
or in full:

Rules for identification of a subject proxy with its governing TMA,
and for associating each property of each class of subject proxy with
whatever portions of the TMA disclosure are applicable to that
property.

The editors will be issuing an editor's draft once the formal model
from Robert Barta arrives in which these corrections will be made.

That editors' draft will be separate from and not a part of the current
balloting process but will be produced to assist in discussion of the
Topic Maps Reference Model, with the formal model included, at the 
meeting in Amsterdam.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Patrick
