Issue 5553: It should be possible to assign default values to parameters (gene-expression-ftf)

Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: It should be possible to assign default values to parameters


Request from Hilmar Lapp, GNF, that default values can be associated with
a Parameterizable's Parameters.  This could be done by replacing the
current Unit association to an association called "DefaultValue" to
Measurement.  The Parameterizable end would aggregate the Measurement
end and have a cardinality of 1.  The Measurement end would have a 
cardinality of 0..1 and be named "defaultValue".


(MAGE ISSUE 113)

Resolution: see below
Revised Text: Changes to the Specification:

Section 2.1.15, Measurement

The specification for the value attribute for Measurement is changed

Currently:

\bvalue\b : any (required)

Becomes:

\bvalue\b : any (optional)

(where \b...\b represents boldface)

Section 2.1.16, Protocol

The specification of the unit association for Parameter is replaced by

the new specification for defaultValue

Currently:

\bunit\b : Unit (0..1)

Unit the value is associated with

Becomes:

\bdefaultValue\b : Measurement (0..1)

Allows the optional specification of a default values and the unit for the Parameter

(where \b...\b indicates boldface)
 
 
  MAGE-OM and the generated MAGE.xmi are updated, adding the DefaultValue association and removing the current association. 
 
 
  Element and Attlist definitions for Measurement changes

Currently:

<!ELEMENT ActionMeasurement_assn (Measurement) >

<!ELEMENT Measurement_assn (Measurement) >

Becomes:

<!ELEMENT ActionMeasurement_assn (Measurement) >

<!ELEMENT DefaultValue_assn (Measurement) >

<!ELEMENT Measurement_assn (Measurement) >

Element and Attlist declarations for Parameter

Currently:

unit: Unit the value is associated with

dataType: The type of data generated by the parameter i.e. Boolean, float, etc...

Becomes:

defaultValue: Allows the optional specification of a default values and the unit for the Parameter

dataType: The type of data generated by the parameter i.e. Boolean, float, etc...

Currently:

<!ELEMENT Parameter ((%Identifiable_content;),

Unit_assn?,

DataType_assn?) >

Becomes:

<!ELEMENT Parameter ((%Identifiable_content;),

DefaultValue_assn?,

DataType_assn?) >

Hi Juergen,


Here's the last batch.  Officially, I guess I'm entering them but
these are
collated from the MGED efforts for which there is no clear consensus
yet.


thanks, as always,
Michael

It should be possible to assign default values to parameters


Request from Hilmar Lapp, GNF, that default values can be associated
with
a Parameterizable's Parameters.  This could be done by replacing the
current Unit association to an association called "DefaultValue" to
Measurement.  The Parameterizable end would aggregate the Measurement
end and have a cardinality of 1.  The Measurement end would have a 
cardinality of 0..1 and be named "defaultValue".
