Dear All.
Continuing issue 363,
I propose the following:
Current:
E62 String
Subclass of:E59 <#_E59_Primitive_Value> Primitive Value
Scope Note:This class comprises the instances of E59 Primitive Values
used for documentation such as free text strings, bitmaps, vector
graphics, etc.
E62 String is not further elaborated upon within the model
Examples:
§the Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over the Lazy Dog
§6F 6E 54 79 70 31 0D 9E
New scope note:
"This class comprises coherent sequences of binary-encoded symbols. They
correspond to the content of an instance of E90 Symbolic object.
Instances of E62 String represent only the symbol sequence itself. In
contrast, instances of other subclasses of E59 Primitive value represent
entities in mathematical spaces different from that of symbol sequences,
by using binary-encoded symbols, such as date expressions or numbers in
decimal encoding. For instance, different syntactic forms of a date
expression may represent the same date, but different strings."
Best,
Martin
