Tweaked examples and syntaxes to match the 2.0 RC 2 DTD. Cleaned up a couple figures; incorporated several new reference citations. Added interpolation paragraph.
Deprecated <signalID>
used
for internal signals in checkcase data in favor of the more consistent <varID>
, (which meant the introduction
of a formal <varID>
element) and made the specification of
<signalUnits>
subelement
mandatory for input and output signals for consistency. Thanks to Dan Newman for
helping solidify the thinking about this.
Changed examples in this text to use updated AIAA variable names to match revised (but unpublished) draft standard of September 2008. Changed many 'examples' to 'excerpts' to emphasize the missing portions of a valid DAVE-ML file. Corrected units in checkcase examples to match proposed AIAA standard.
Removed the symmetric
attribute of the <uniformPDF>
subelement; this was
redundant as symmetric distribution is implied with a single <bounds>
subelement, and asymmetric
is implied by two bounds
subelements. Kudos to Dan Newman and
Dennis Linse for catching the inconsistent examples and for suggesting this
convention.
Corrected the DTD by reversing the definition of the floor
and
ceiling
values of the interpolate
attribute of
the <independentVarPts>
element; also corrected the correlated uncertainty example; thanks to Dan Newman for
catching both of these in 2.0 RC1.
Corrected the DTD so that only one <checkData>
element is allowed
(but it can have multiple, different, <staticShot>
test
conditions). Thanks to Dan and Dennis for reporting this inconsistency between
the reference manual and the DTD.
Added a <description>
sub-element to <staticShot>
element in response to a suggestion by Dennis Linse; added to example listings.
Added a section about namespaces; removed the hard link in DTD that incorrectly set
namespace for the <calculation>
element.
Added new multi-purpose <creationDate>
element to
replace the single-purpose <fileCreationDate>
and
<functionCreationDate>
elements, at the suggestion of Dennis Linse of SAIC. <fileCreationDate>
and
<functionCreationDate>
are now deprecated.
Corrected descriptions of <ungriddedTableDef>
and
<griddedTableDef>
to
reflect the possible use of an internal <function>
element; previously the
descriptions implied that these elements were only specifed external to functions and
thus the utID
and gtID
attributes, respectively,
were required. Thanks to Dennis Linse for the correction.
Depicted <provenanceRef>
as an option to the <provenance>
subelement for <griddedTableDef>
, <ungriddedTableDef>
, and
<function>
elements in the
narrative part of this manual (it was described correctly in the reference
section). Also added both <provenance>
and <provenanceRef>
as optional
subelements of the <variableDef>
and <checkData>
elements. Thanks to
Dennis Linse for the correction.
Added '[Deprecated]' in the description of <griddedTable>
, <ungriddedTable>
, and <confidenceBound>
elements
for consistency; these were previously deprecated but not marked clearly in each element's
'purpose' section. Thanks to Dennis Linse for the suggestion.
Updated the acknowledgment paragraph of the DTD; significantly reformatted the .pdf version of this document and added section numbers to all versions.
