VDM update

@Daniel Alvarez-Coello

VDM communication plan

@Paul Boyes

  • @Daniel Alvarez-Coello Clarity is missing:

    • TODAY:

      • Two artifacts:

        • Modeling approachVspec (YAML-based + COVESA extensions) → i.e., not an standard language outside COVESA

        • Controlled vocabulary (aka., catalog) that results from using that approach → VSS catalog (using YAML format)

      • Ground truth of the logical and conceptual layer: Vspec

        • GraphQL is just an export format

    • VISION:

      • Two artifacts:

        • Modeling approachS2DMReuses Established standard language (GraphQL SDL)

        • Controlled vocabulary (aka., catalog) that results from using that approach → VSS catalog (using GraphQL format)

      • Ground truth of the logical and conceptual layer: GraphQL SDL

        • Vspec is just an export format → backward compatibility (for those mappable features)

 

Color Legend:

This has to be upgraded → i.e., it will evolve

The information here won’t change → it will only be persisted in a different format
