== Proposed attribute CATRXN ==

[[User:Rmm|raphael]] 05:23, 17 August 2009 (UTC) : A new attribute Category of regulation / restriction / recommendation is proposed. CATRXN (Category of regulation/restriction/recommendation) is a means of categorizing regulations, restrictions, and recommendations by sailing directions topic. Categories include pilotage, traffic, anchorages, etc. Applications would use CATRXN values when they need to collect objects of a class - for example, when they collect all information objects for a specified place that pertain to pilotage, perhaps to display a box with "all pilotage information for place X" on the screen.

Acronym: CATRXN

Attribute type: Simple

Camel Case: categoryOfRxN

Data Type: Enumeration

Definition: The broad category or semantic group to which the information, regulation, restriction, or recommendation pertains. These broad categories may correspond to subdivision titles in sailing directions.

		+	[[User:Rmm\|raphael]] 03:00, 26 August 2009 (UTC): Just a note to mention that while John P. and I were working on the pilotage generic example we encountered regulations about pilot qualifications in the context of regulations often enough that we thought it worth considerng whether attribute [[PLTQFC]] should be bound to [[REGLTS]]. SNPWG is invited to consider this suggestion.

		+	== Proposed Attribute RXNCOD ==
		+
		+	[[User:Rmm\|raphael]] 05:35, 17 August 2009 (UTC): RXNCOD (Regulation/restriction/regulation code) is intended to provide numeric codes that identify the information as one of the most common types of regulations (or restrictions, etc.) RXNCOD values are precise enough for an application to display specific alerts. RXNCOD values may correspond to specific text ("e.g., pilotage compulsory"). Applications could use RXNCOD to display specific strings, or provide and handle specific alerts.
		+
		+
		+	Attribute: Regulation / restriction / recommendation code
		+
		+	Acronym: RXNCOD
		+
		+	Attribute type: Simple
		+
		+	Camel Case: rxnCode
		+
		+	Data Type: Enumeration
		+
		+	Definition: This attribute encodes the most common types of regulations (recommendations, restrictions).

		+
		+	1 Pilotage compulsory

		+
		+	Definitions:
		+
		+	Pilotage compulsory
		+
		+	Pilotage is compulsory
		+
		+
		+	Pilot qualifications

		+
		+	Pertaining to head-on situations in restricted passages or fairways (details in INFORM or TXTDSC file)

		+
		+	Permission required from an authority for transit (details in INFORM or TXTDSC)
		+
		+
		+	Dimensional
		+
		+	Applicable only to vessels exceeding specified dimensions (associated chalim will specify limits)
		+
		+
		+
		+	Remarks: This attribute encodes the most common types of regulations (recommendations, restrictions) in a form that software (e.g., ECDIS) can use to do at least some subject-specific processing. Since the details are in natural language (i.e., as text in INFORM), this will not be comprehensive, but (a) it should be possible to use this in conjunction with “chalim” in some cases to provide enhancements like automatic indicators in the ECDIS/ECS that passage is forbidden for vessels of certain size; (b) provide hints, such as a hint that pilotage is probably compulsory, etc.
		+
		+	In spite of the similarity in names, they are actually have different functions: CATRXN is intended for "classifying" of 4-brothers instances; RXNCOD is designed to "identify" what the specific regulation, etc., says in a way that can be recognized by software, which allows specific alerts to be raised.
		+
		+
		+
		+	Comments for addition of more codes, refinement or removal of codes9, 10, 11, 12, 14 invited.
