DataTypes Comments Section 6

6 Collections of Quantities

• Apologies on this section - it was only reviewed through section 6.5... the rest is sufficiently complex that I'm going to just assume it is ok.
• 6.1 Preliminary Considerations
  1. P1 "The concept of generic types is described in (§ )." - This doesn't work at all in a non-html document, and is painful in html because you have to click on it to even find out whether it is an internal or external reference.
  2. P3 "Snowbirds" is kind of a local term. While the line is kind of fun, I wonder whether it shouldn't be replaced with "... and addresses of people who maintain different winter and summer residences"?
• 6.2 GeneratedSequence (GLIST) specializes LIST
  1. "Used to specify regular sampling points for biosignals." - is this the only reason that these are here? It seems like a type that applies to a lot of things beyond just biosignal sampling points, so maybe this shouldn't be part of the definition of, if it is, it should be stated as a "for example"?
  2. The examples table is a little confusing, as it appears to be a part of the definition of equality.
• 6.3 SampledSequence (SLIST) specializes LIST
  1. Same issue on sampled biosignals as above
• 6.4 Continuous Set (QSET) specializes SET
  1. The definition says that a Continuous Set is "An unordered set of distinct values..." and yet 6.4.1 says that "Continuous Sets are totally ordered sets - ?????
• 6.5 Continuous Set Union (QSU) specializes QSET
• 6.6 Continuous Set Intersection (QSI) specializes QSET
• 6.7 Continuous Set Difference (QSD) specializes QSET
• 6.8 Continuous Set Periodic Hull (QSP) specializes QSET
• 6.9 Coded Continuous Set (QSC) specializes QSET and CS
• 6.10 Interval (IVL) specializes QSET
• 6.11 Interval of Physical Quantities (IVL<PQ>) specializes IVL
• 6.12 Interval of Point in Time (IVL<TS>) specializes IVL
• 6.13 Periodic Interval of Time (PIVL) specializes QSET
• 6.14 Event-Related Periodic Interval of Time (EIVL) specializes QSET
• 6.15 General Timing Specification (GTS) Alias For QSET<TS>
