Hi,
one of the topics from the last virtual interim that needs further
discussion is the ambiguity of the term "data tree". In 6020bis, it is
used with three different meanings:
1. Explicit definition in Sec. 3: "The instantiated tree of
configuration and state data on a device."
2. In many cases, it is used to denote *any* YANG-modelled tree,
i.e. including RPC input/output data and notification. An example is
the definition of container, also in Sec. 3: "An interior data node
that exists in at most one instance in the data tree."
3. In a few other cases, it is used in a more restricted sense of a
*configuration* data tree, for example in sec. 4.2.7: "When a node
from one case is created in the data tree, all nodes from all other
cases are implicitly deleted."
In my review of 6020bis-06 I proposed to use "data tree" only in the
meaning #2, that is:
OLD
o data tree: The instantiated tree of configuration and state data
on a device.
NEW
o data tree: The instantiated tree of configuration, state data,
combined configuration and state data, RPC input or output, or
notification.
We could use "configuration data tree" for #3, but a special term would
probably also be needed for #1.
Comments, suggestions?
