References in Modules • Considerable concern • Business • Money saved by the AP developers may have to be spent by each implementor • Implementors may have to purchase many standards • Technical • How to know the scope of a reference • Where does the EXPRESS-G begin and end?
EXPRESS Amendment Barriers to implementation of modules • A new version of EXPRESS has not yet been implemented by any tool kit vendors • We cannot check your models • TBD versions of Part 21, Part 28 and SDAI are not yet in the scope of any WG11 project • We cannot make any data • A new modeling technique allows EXPRESS entities to reference anything (Generic) • We will not know what to implement • Will we be harmonizing against 70+ modules instead of 3 AP’s. • We cannot know if they all work together
