Structured Definitions Cont’d

• Advantages:

  • Tight, compact definitions
    • References are hyper-linked
  • Improved consistency
  • Replaces (difficult to define) “related concepts”

• Disadvantage:

  • A change in the definition a referenced EC or EA could change or invalidate an entry that makes the reference

• Dependencies:

  • If a definition is modified it may affect other entries
  • If a new entry is added other entries may reference it
