If you'll help me understand what relationships are many to many, I'll figure out a way to indicate it.

Sent by: [email protected] The diagram is in pretty good shape - though Joanmarie has a lot of good comments. The primary thing that struck me was the incorrectness of the thin lines between AT Layer and Operating System Layer. Perhaps you could put something like a } symbol (rotated two different ways) on each end of the many to many relationship - or use UML's 0..* at each end of a single thin line.

The original has disappeared, and we have used the opportunity to use Open Office to create a new diagram that resolves some of the contrast notation issues with the original version. The notation is intended to divide into layer functions, as well as distinguish those parts that are Gnome, Java, and application based. 1) In addition to colors, we've used an appended superscript to identify Gnome parts (g) and Java parts (j). 2) We've added lines to connect components to make the stacks absolutely clear. In the original diagram, must is inferred simply by proximity. 3) We've indicated the relationship between the layers with their own lines between conceptual layers. 4) WeI have no idea what to do with the Tools layer. It's not dependent on the apps layer. Rather, we think its just conceptually a different kind of app. Here is a reference link to the original diagram: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Accessibility/Minutes/Minutes20100907#Discussion_of_Illustrations_and_Their_Descriptors Your input is invited: David Bolter [email protected] to review the Mozilla part, Malte Timmerman [email protected] to review the OpenOffice part, and Carolyn MacLeod [email protected] to review the Eclipse part Regards, Brian Brian Cragun IBM AbilityLab Consultant Human Ability & Accessibility Center www.ibm.com/able & w3.ibm.com/able W:(720)-663-2801 H:(507)288-2437 -- Pete Brunet a11ysoft - Accessibility Architecture and Development (512) 238-6967 (work), (512) 689-4155 (cell) Skype: pete.brunet IM: ptbrunet (AOL, Google), [email protected] (MSN) http://www.a11ysoft.com/about/ Ionosphere: WS4G _______________________________________________ Accessibility-ia2 mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/accessibility-ia2
