[Nml-wg] Relations in NML

[Jeroen van der Ham]

Hi all,

I've tried to list all relations that I've seen so far in NML that we've made a decision on and have used. I came to the list below, let's discuss it in the call.

Jeroen.


<Topology|Node> hasNode <Node>
<Topology> hasTopology <Topology>
<NE> hasService <Service>
<Node> hasInboundPort <Port>
<Node< hasOutboundPort <Port>
<Port> isSink <Link>
<Port> isSource <Link>
<Link> isSerialCompound <Group>
<Node> locatedAt <Location>
<Node> implementedBy <Node>



Grouping is done slightly differently in XML and RDF:

Grouping in XML:
Containment for elements.

Ordering:
<NE> next <NE>


Grouping in RDF:
<Group> contains <NE>

Ordered group is done using extra ListItem objects:
<ListItem> item <NE>
<ListItem> next <ListItem>
