POSC Specifications Version 2.2 Epicentre Logical Data Model

0881 Component_material_type needs "mandatory select" rule

Component_material_type needs a "mandatory select" rule on attributes described_material_type and characterize.

Add relationship and rule

Add new relationship to Component_material to specialize the "characterize" relationship to Material to be mandatory. Add a "mandatory select" rule to Component_material_type to only allow one "characterize" relationship to be populated.

Added objects:
component_material.characterize (Attribute)
component_material_type.mse (Where rule)

Modify attribute and diagram

Modify "characterize" relationship from Material_composition to Material to be optional. This was mistakenly made mandatory in version 2.1 when the relationship shoud have been specialized to mandatory in Component_material. The "characterize" relationship was erroneously shown as optional on diagram MSA2 in V2.1. Modify diagram MSA2 to add new relationship. As a result of specializing the characterize relationship, the uniqueness rule will now be different in the EXPRESS file for Component_material. As a result of attribute rename the uniquentss rule changed for Component_material_type.

Modified objects:
material_composition.characterize (Attribute)
MSA2:_Materials_Composition (Diagram)
component_material.si (Unique rule)
component_material_type.si (Unique rule)
typical_material.component_of_material (Attribute)

Rename typical material attribute

The attribute component material type is confusing in the entity of the same name. It was renamed to the name of the target entity for clarity.

Renamed objects:
component_material_type.typical_material (Attribute), previous name was component_material_type
