Issue 8805: Added classes for describing bibliographic references                                                                                                                                                   (snp-ftf)

Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: The model follows closely the OMG Bibliographic Query Service data
model. Only differences are the way bibref subject descriptors are
handles (giving more flexibility to mix different vocabularies) and
addition of boolean 'et_at' attribute to Person to indicate that the
list of, for example, authors is not complete.


  - All the added classes except Bibref_subject and Bibref_description
inherit from Identifiable and can have additional properties added to
them using Annotation and Db_xref. These two classes are mere
groupings of attributes to Bibliographic_reference and can not exist
independently.


Resolution: 
Revised Text: Discussion:

It is not possible to add BQS classes here just by reference because in BQS they are expressed normatively as CORBA objects. Therefore, it is needed to add them here by copying. The copying includes all classes expressed in the illustrative UML part of BQS, except differences mentioned in the summary above.

Resolution:
  Proposed solution:

·	Apply the change into the UML diagram of the PIM model (make a
     new figure)
·	Apply the change into the XMI file created from the UML diagram
     (update the accompanying file by a new omgsnp-xmi12.xml file)
·	Apply the change in the section "3.2 Model classes, attributes and
     associations (details)" (re-generate the whole section from the XMI)


Disposition:	Resolved

Actions taken:

Discussion: 
The "Proposed resolution" for all of them is the following:
-----------------------------------------------------------


* apply the change into the UML diagram of the PIM model (make a new
  figure)


* apply the change into the XMI file created from the UML diagram
  (update the accompanied file)


* apply the change in the section "3.2 Model classes, attributes and
  associations (details)" (re-generate the whole section from the XMI)

The following changes were suggested to the SNP PIM model (and
consequently to the XML Schema - a PSM - defining the PML data
exchange format. Because all of these changes will be resolved by the
same mechanism I am putting them all in one issue (but Juergen may
choose to separate them into individual issues with the same "proposed
resolution" section).


The "Proposed resolution" for all of them is the following:
-----------------------------------------------------------


* apply the change into the UML diagram of the PIM model (make a new
  figure)


* apply the change into the XMI file created from the UML diagram
  (update the accompanied file)


* apply the change in the section "3.2 Model classes, attributes and
  associations (details)" (re-generate the whole section from the XMI)


The changes are here:
- Added classes for describing bibliographic references


  - The model follows closely the OMG Bibliographic Query Service data
model. Only differences are the way bibref subject descriptors are
handles (giving more flexibility to mix different vocabularies) and
addition of boolean 'et_at' attribute to Person to indicate that the
list of, for example, authors is not complete.


  - All the added classes except Bibref_subject and Bibref_description
inherit from Identifiable and can have additional properties added to
them using Annotation and Db_xref. These two classes are mere
groupings of attributes to Bibliographic_reference and can not exist
independently.
