Question: "Generalization Relations" for XSDDataTypes #3

Open packet-rat opened 9 years ago

packet-rat commented 9 years ago

I’ve picked up some artifacts ingesting the .emx files in my Visual Paradigm IDE. Before diving in, I was curious if anyone recognizes these (_0, _7yKF-…) off the top of your head as something that exists on your side and that should be there in the structures.

They are "Generalization Relations" for XSDDataTypes which seem out of sorts with the way everything else loads in nice "Human Readable" form.

For example:

Please ignore any XSDDataTypes. They are remnants of the automatic transformation process, and still exist because they weren't removed from the external package.

packet-rat commented 9 years ago

In other words pay attention to details provided like:

The external XSD schemas are out of scope for this effort, so the “external” package of the STIX model should be ignored."

;-)

That's what I suspected the more I dig into it, but wanted to check with you and ensure it wasn't an artifact of my tool.

rpiazza commented 9 years ago

It is a good point though... I’m not sure what to do – the external package contains UML for all of the external schemas, as created by the XSD to UML automatic transformation. As I mentioned, creating UML models for them is outside the scope of this effort. However, it is useful to have a placeholder for them, because they are referred to in the extensions package in the generalization relationships.
