Some DNC and color modeling Q   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #212 of 272 |
Hi everyone!
 
As it seems there is still some activity here I'd like to post some (probably dumb :-) ) questions here as I am quite new to both modeling and modeling in color and DNC.
 
We have tried to model a few relatively simple systems using DNC and we have always got to the question:
 
Does DNC require to have always all three "legs" aka associations (i.e. - party+place+thing) from the moment-interval class  or simply for some of the moment-interval classes certain association are naturally missing and we should not spend our time looking for the "missing link" :-)
 
Or, is the missing link a sign of not correctly chosen moment-interval class?
Or, is the missing link a sign of our low experience with modeling or lack of analytical thinking?
 
Thanks in advance for any info or links to other resources I might not know.
 
Best Regards

No it is not necessary that the final model has the three legs, The DNC is an archetype type of pattern, as such it simply helps the modeller in reasoning over...

That's a pretty fertile example there. I'd like to continue along this line of thought. Think about how you'd implement a threaded email client, with folders....
