Object under Assessment
SWIMRegistrySchema_v0.0.3.json, as used by the SWIM Registry application for uploading / downloading Registry Entries.
Assessment Objectives
name | description |
---|---|
conformance to SD spec | assess whether the schema allows to produce a SD satisfying the requirements of the SD spec |
trace to SD spec | map between spec requirements and schema fields (as the structure and naming may diverge from the spec or the supporting material) |
aligment with supporting material | assess how far the schema allows to satisfy the supporting material in the SD handbook |
Note that alignment with SIR and supporting material have not started yet.
Assessment considerations
use for SD validation | Elements in the Schema are optional, so that the Schema cannot be used to validate a JSON doc (almost any JSON doc is valid). The SWIM Registry validates a JSON doc with business rules within the application. |
structure, grouping, naming | Mapping between schema structure and req could be improved. There's a need to explain and/or restructure. Unclear why some arrays have minItems = 1 for an optional field. When not filled in (yet) the field has to be removed, instead of remaining with an empty array. |
external documents | The use of external documents need be clarified. In general and in relation to other fields (eg model, behaviour, information definition). Can some of these documents be a part of the service description? |
diagrams | How are diagrams be provided? Only through an external document? |

With reference to SWIM-SERV-024, both the SWIM Manual Vol 2 and PANS-IM-SWIM explicitly mention the need for the Filter property in a Service Description.

There seems to be a missing property for "Source of Information" (again, mentioned in both the SWIM Manual Vol 2 and PANS-IM-SWIM)
