Represent shortcut – long path properties in CRM

726
2026-09-23
2 - Application guidelines
Open

At the 62nd SIG meeting it became apparent that the SIG has not arrived at a uniform manner to represent that a property is a shortcut of a fully developped path. Enclosing both sets in boxes (like in Figure 2: Argumentation, Proposition Sets and E13 Attribute Assignment, in CRMinf v1.2.1, p.17) could serve like a blueprint.

HW was assigned to Martin and George to propose a suitable notation for that.

Dear all, 
Issue 726 concerns representing the relation between shortcut properties and the long paths they form shortcuts of in CRM diagrams. So far we have not standardized how to represent this kind of information. The idea is that since shortcuts may correspond to multiple alternative paths and involve logical or other constraints that are not readily conveyed by the existing graph notation, the SIG should agree on a styleguide, to be implemented in the CRM libraries.

Please take a moment to review the diagrams (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AovIO39ZdIJ7r94JFxDRQRCGHd4jYHfolWX…;

Make sure to mark anything you find nice, intuitive, not quite intuitive, you name it.

All the best,

Dear All,

I also propose to represent IsA between properties by a dotted line of thickness 2 dots. It makes reading much easier.

Best,

Martin
