Clarify the specification for include directive #45

Closed rakhimov closed 7 years ago

rakhimov commented 7 years ago

Explore more alternative options: XInclude and multiple input files
Change the reasoning: portability and convenience (the performance gain is left implicit)
Clarify what "load" means: context-specific, implicit selective query
Clarify the resolution of relative paths
Allow easy automatic validation (each to-be-included file must be valid by itself against the schema)

Currently, the include directive can appear only in fault-trees, components, model-data, and opsa-mef. Therefore, wording is changed from "anywhere" to "specific places".

Closes #16

@rakhimov You are totally right for Xinclude, Xinclude is XML standard, we should simply use it.

For people who don't know what it is: https://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/#basic-example I am not for "reinventing the wheel".
