[Moims-mp] Latest version of MPS BB and supporting documents uploaded

[roger.rocketbrain at btinternet.com]

Dear All,
 
I have uploaded draft G6 of the MPS BB to the Google Drive.  This has
changes agreed during the MPS WG sessions of the virtual spring CCSDS
meeting, including:
 
*	Updates resulting from comments received from Christophe and Olly
*	Removal of the hasPrecursor flag in Plan and PlanSummary
*	Removal of multiple references to MO COM – that the standard is
based on the latest version of MO is now only stated in §2.3 (relationship
to other standards)
*	Update of the MAL Types diagram to include MAL::Object
*	In addressing Christophe’s comment on planIDs for patch plans /
precursor plans and target plans, I have added paragraphs to the
introduction of §3.2.6.1 on Plans as agreed, but I have also rationalised
the use of the terms “predecessor” and “precursor” throughout the document
when referring to the precursor plan, and added definition of terms for
precursor plan and target plan.  The term precursor plan is now used
consistently, although in some introductory paragraphs the word
“predecessor” is also used in the interests of clarity/explanation.  We
could decide to go with “predecessor plan” instead, in which case I would
need to change the name of the field and all references to “precursor plan”.
 
The removal of the hasPrecursor flag means there are a few minor changes to
the Information Model (for Plan and PlanSummary) and the corresponding XML
file structures.  I have also uploaded draft V3 of the EA model which
contains these changes, and a new set of generated XSD schema files for the
file formats.
 
There were a few strange formatting artefacts in the BB.  Hopefully I have
fixed these, but let me know if you spot any more.
 
Open issues I am aware of:
*	The MAL reference is still to the published MAL BB (Issue 2) – not
the revised MO v2 version
*	There is any empty reference for the NAV Event Message, as this has
not yet been published.
*	References to SANA registry entries for the File Structure Schema
files and the XML service specification may need to be updated once these
have actually been created.
*	Document is formatted for A4, and the Contents lists reflect this.
 
Cheers,
 
Roger
