# Update data model figures for the Domain,variable and Domain construct; and provide new image creation source code.
# Moderator @user # Moderator Status Review [last updated: YYYY-MM-DD] # Requirement Summary * The data model figures need to include the recent data model changes - i.e. the new Domain data model construct (see #301). * The images need to be editable by the community to more easily allow future data model changes to be visualized. # Technical Proposal Summary The original figures, that were created with proprietary software, have been recast with [Graphviz](https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://graphviz.org__;!!G2kpM7uM-TzIFchu!gpCIkM67rTez14bqSVlnC07zDmM_UZt8-Q34_EqUfWn-NC8eSGJJfv_cZzG86e4jnph62vF0RoI$ ) - open source graph visualization software. Graphviz is, to my mind, somewhat like LaTeX in that the image is defined with human-readable text that is then rendered to an image as the software sees fit ([here is a nice "hello world" example](https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://graphviz.org/Gallery/directed/hello.html__;!!G2kpM7uM-TzIFchu!gpCIkM67rTez14bqSVlnC07zDmM_UZt8-Q34_EqUfWn-NC8eSGJJfv_cZzG86e4jnph6L_FE5yc$ )). Other than including the new Domain variable and Domain construct, the logical content has not been changed. # Benefits The data model will correctly reflect the conventions. # Status Quo The data model description is wrong. # Associated pull request # Detailed Proposal -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
