Issue 17545: Inconsistency in NIEM-UML URIs (niem-uml-ftf)
Source: Model Driven Solutions (Mr. Ed Seidewitz, ed-s(at)modeldriven.com)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Specification: UML Profile for NIEM (NIEM-UML), FTF Beta 1 (dtc/2012-07-09)

 

The URIs listed on the cover page and in Annex C of the NIEM-UML Beta 1 document all begin with “http://www.omg.org/spec/NIEM_UML”. However, all the normative XMI files, as submitted, use “http://www.omg.org/spec/NIEM-UML” (hyphen instead of underscore in “NIEM-UML”). Further, the normative URIs for the profiles in the NIEM-UML profile model all use the “NIEM-UML” form (as is visible on the diagram in Figure 8-1 in the spec document).

 

On or the other form of URI should be used consistently. Using “NIEM-UML” is recommended, since it is more consistent with how other elements of some of the URIs are written, such as “NIEM-Reference”, and because underscores don’t show up well when URIs are displayed with underlines.

Specification: UML Profile for NIEM (NIEM-UML), FTF Beta 1 (dtc/2012-07-09)

 

The URIs listed on the cover page and in Annex C of the NIEM-UML Beta 1 document all begin with .http://www.omg.org/spec/NIEM_UML.. However, all the normative XMI files, as submitted, use .http://www.omg.org/spec/NIEM-UML. (hyphen instead of underscore in .NIEM-UML.). Further, the normative URIs for the profiles in the NIEM-UML profile model all use the .NIEM-UML. form (as is visible on the diagram in Figure 8-1 in the spec document).

 

On or the other form of URI should be used consistently. Using .NIEM-UML. is recommended, since it is more consistent with how other elements of some of the URIs are written, such as .NIEM-Reference., and because underscores don.t show up well when URIs are displayed with underlines.
