A classification---also known as a ``class'', but that term is avoided in this
|
|
specification due to ambiguities---is a set of rules performed on the ^[input
|
|
data] yielding a boolean result of the same depth as the largest depth of the
|
|
applicable ^[input data]. \todo{Include formal documentation from DSL manual.}
|
|
|
|
\begin{ex}
|
|
Consider a classification~$c$ that has the following rules:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item $5\leq\alpha\leq10$
|
|
\item $\beta>0$
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
Given various sets of ^[input data], we would expect the results shown in
|
|
\fref{class-ex}.
|
|
\end{ex}

\begin{tabular}{cc|c}
|
|
$\alpha$ & $\beta$ & Result \\
|
|
\hline
|
|
1 & 2 & $\bot$ \\
|
|
5 & 2 & $\top$ \\
|
|
|
|
\set{4,5} & \set{10,10} & \set{\bot,\top} \\
|
|
\set{\set{4,5},\set{5,6}} & \set{10,0}
|
|
& \set{\set{\bot,\top},\set{\bot,\bot}} \\
|
|
\end{tabular}

|
|
|
A classification may treat the result of another classification as ^[input
|
|
data].
|
|
|
|
A classification may treat the result of a~^[calculation] (see \sref{premcalc}) as
|
|
^[input data].
|
|
|
|
All classifications in this section \shall apply to the ^[input data] as defined
|
|
in~\sref{indata}.
|
|
|
|
Each classification \shall have an associated character string
|
|
\dfn{classification!description} which \shall be made accessible to the caller
|
|
as ^[output data] in an \unspecified\ manner.
|
|
|
|
The point at which classifications are calculated is \unspecified; an
|
|
implementation \may choose to defer any specific classification until such a
|
|
time that it is needed by a calculation. Furthermore, an implementation \may
|
|
choose not to perform a given classification at all, so long as it is determined
|
|
that such a classification does not apply to any ^[input data].
