Nature: Enhancement
Severity: Significant
Summary:
The specification lacks an overview that provides an undestanding of how the problem domain is being addressed. This is important for non-implementers, particularly potential customers of implementations, to understand why they should care if a product implements SPEM
In SPEM 2.0 Profile Notation of Process Element you say: SuperClass of Process Element: BreakDownElement. I believe that's not correct because in BreakDownElement's specification BreakdownElement is a child of Process Element
Below Figure 13.4 (page 98) text says: "Figure 13.3 depicts a SPEM 2.0 Profile presentation of an Activity called 'Define the System'..." but Figure 13.3 shows a Taxonomy and key relationships of Breakdown
Using the categorization within the SPEM 2.0 Profile we found the following: It seems, that the associations "categorizedElement" and "subcategory" are not implemented. The Category element does not have the two associations in its menue and there are no stereotypes with related names. It is not possible to categorize elements. Associations and stereotypes do not exist in provided ptc/2007-08-09 XMI files also.
n Section 2 (Conformance) of the SPEM 2.0 spec, there is a reference to documents "ad/06-11-04" (XMI Schemata) and "ad/06-11-05" . Neither of these are available. I'd like to access the XMI Schemata for SPEM 2.0 if possible.
