[DDI-users] Potential bug with ValueRepresentationReference

[Samuel Spencer]

Hi all,

I'm looking at ways to represent 11179 objects in DDI, specifically Value
Domains.

I was pointed towards the ValueRepresentation class and think I have found
a bug.

ValueRepresentationReference[1] doesn't define a
CodeValueRepresentationReference, which I think makes pointing to
a CodeValueRepresentation[2] not semantically possible?

But additional to this, neither the CodeValueRepresentation or the abstract
ValueRepresentation[3] are identifiable which makes referring to them
impossible. Meaning the only way to include them is inline within a
RepresentedVariable or a VariableRepresentation[5] (which itself is
non-identifiable and can only exist within a Variable[6].

Cheers,
Sam.
