Subject: MAL ObjectRef

Hi All,

As I am currently reviewing the MPS Information model with respect to usage of ObjectRef and the new StaticObjectRef MAL::Attribute types, I would like to make the following observation and resulting recommendation.

The great majority of object references are to objects of known type – the “StaticObjectRef”, with only a small minority requiring the full context ObjectRef.

Could I therefore propose, that the attribute type “ObjectRef” is used for the more common attribute type pointing to a fixed type (the “static” object ref), and that we find a new name for the rarer full object ref that includes the Area and Type – my suggestion is “FullObjectRef”.
I think it makes sense to have the simpler name for the most commonly used type – plus it has the advantage that I don’t have to change all the references in the existing MPS model!

Cheers,

Roger
