'4.3.5 Other fields

In addition to common fields, some EDCS dictionaries have specialized fields. Such specialized fields are described for each dictionary in the following sections. However one field, "Figure(s)", is common to the EC, EA, EE, and EV dictionaries. A figure is an illustrative example of the concept. Inclusion of a figure is optional. Figures may be line drawings, images, or other graphics. Additional requirements for figures are given in 10.5.6.'

4.4, 3rd paragraph, b and c

"

4.5.1, last paragraph, third sentence

Change the HTML '<a title="EDCS classification">EA</a>s with the same first character of their <a title="EDCS classification label">EAL</a>s' to '<a title="EDCS classification">EA</a>s with the same first character of their <a title="EDCS classification label">EAL</a>s'.

Table 4.4 EDCS attribute value types

Update the HTML to use th rather than td commands for the header row.

Table 4.5 EDCS numeric value types

4.6, 1st paragraph

Remove last sentence. Insert the following as the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th paragraphs:

"For the purpose of EV specifications, an EA instance collection shall mean any user-defined set, collection, list, array, hierarchy, container, or any other data structure of instances of a single EA entry. If such a data structure contains instances of several EAs, the EA of interest shall be identifiable.

An EV specifies information concerning:

EV entries may be used for various purposes. These purposes include providing:

4.6, 2nd paragraph, c and d

Replace with the following, inserting new list item d: "

  1. a unique EDCS attribute value characteristic code (EVC),
  2. a specification of whether an EV instance is required to be assigned a characteristic value, and
  3. a specification of the EDCS attribute value types to which it applies.

"

4.6, 3rd paragraph, c and d

Replace with the following, inserting new list item e: "

  1. a reference,
  2. supplemental references, and
  3. figures.

"

4.6, 4th paragraph

Replace with the following:

"The EDCS Attribute Value Characteristic Dictionary is presented in Tables 6.32 and 6.33.

The information specified by EVs is either completely provided by the EV entry concept definition or by the combination of the concept definition and a value for the EV instance, termed the characteristic value. The requirement that an EV instance provide a characteristic value is determined by the EV entry concept definition. An EV that requires a characteristic value provides, according to the concept definition, either ancillary information about the EA instance or information concerning the entirety of an EA instance collection.

For EVs that require a characteristic value, if the characteristic value is of type REAL, the EV instance is required to specify a SCALE and a UNIT and the EQ of the UNIT shall match the corresponding EA.

Some applications assign specific values, termed sentinel values, to EAs to provide a special meaning for those cases where the EA instance value is not usable. EVs can provide similar information through association of the appropriate EV to the EA instance. For those applications that use sentinels, each sentinel value may be related to an EV whose purpose is to indicate why an EA value is not usable. If the EA instances are part of an EA instance collection, the EV specifying a sentinel value may be associated with the collection. In this case, the EV instance specifies that any EA instance with a value equal to the provided sentinel value shall be considered not usable for the reason given by the EV concept definition."

4.7, 3rd paragraph, b and c

Replace with the following, inserting new list item d: "

  1. a reference,
  2. supplemental references, and
  3. figures.
