Title:
*
Query results default ordering inconsistency
Source:
*
CAT 3.0 SWG
Work item code:
Category:
*
Reason for
change:
*
The default ordering of query results in inconsistently defined in the document:
- Table 10 (UML attributes and roles in “query” operation request): sortSpec default is sorted on ID in descending order
- §10.8.4.12 SortBy parameter: no default defined
- Table 65 (KVP encoding for GetRecords operation request):
default action is to present the records in the order in which they are retrieved
Summary of
change:
*
The UML model should not define a default ordering. Individual Application Profiles may define a default, if considered useful. In general, requirements on ordering may negatively impact the implementation of distributed queries, so the issue should be carefully considered
Consequences if
not approved:
Inconsistency in the specification
Clauses affected:
*
Table 10, 11, 65 and §10.8.4.12
