Table 10-2: Representation terms

The occasional references to this table and "component name" or just "name" seem a little fuzzy since this table is exclusively property representation terms.

Second and third sentences of paragraph preceding Table 10-2:

...NIEM uses a standard set of representation terms in the representation portion of a NIEM-conformant component name. Table 10-2, Representation terms, below, lists the primary representation terms and a definition for the concept associated with the use of that term...

Also, it is mentioned close above at the beginning of Section 10.8.7. Representation terms that types have the representation term "Type", but "Type" does not show up in the table named "Representation terms".

I think it's OK that representation terms have the little bit of fuzziness.

What would be a good definition for "Type" in the representation terms table?

webb commented 6 years ago

One factor here is that, although not required, the representation terms appear in many type names.

webb commented 6 years ago

I think we're OK where we are. Declining.

Add an additional representation terms table for types.
