Issue 4583: Modeling and packaging guidelines (cwm-rtf) Source: Unisys (Dr. Doug Tolbert, dtolbert408(at)gmail.com) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Significant Summary: Metamodels described in the CWM specification employ certain modeling techniques and packaging styles in preference to others. However, the current text of the specification does not clearly delineate, or provide a rationale for, which modeling techniques and packaging styles are preferred and which are not. Because stylistic consistency is an important part of promoting both understandability and implementability, text should be added to the specification (possibly in Chapter 6) delineating preferred modeling techniques and packaging. Such documentation will provide guidance to submitters of enhancements to existing CWM metamodels and of new or replacement metamodel packges.
