Focus BDD for block FoxDogPangram

The newly elicited elements have once again been moved out of the Source Input Zone into Packages or Models in the Target Model Zone, the main modelling area for the project, and may be used in Presentation Diagrams for final consumption by general stakeholders.

A focus BDD featuring the FoxDogPangram block and some related elements is shown (with owner indicators displayed). A relevant Snippet is included, but with only the source (not the /member list) showing, and only a couple of dashed-line anchors to some elicited /member blocks.

Part property symbols in the structure compartment have been used to indicate every Letter used in the pangram 'a quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog', with Connectors used to indicate the order of letters within words. (If the analysis had already indicated the existence of a Space block and Period block as punctuation characters they could have been included too.)

Notes

[ASSERTION]{STRICT} In Webel Parsing Analysis elicited model elements MUST eventually be moved out of the 'source' (or '0-source') Package/Model zone and under a main project Package/Model area. (Use the owner display option to check.)

[DISPLAY, STYLE, TIP, TOOL]{SUGGESTED} Style: use line width 2 or 3 on the border of the "focus" element in "focus" diagrams (such as the main Block or Class of a dedicated Block Definition Diagram or Class Diagram)

[CONVENTION, DISPLAY, MODELLING, STYLE, TIP]{STRONG} Webel: SysMLv1: Highly recommend creating a "focus" Block Definition Diagram (BDD) for each main Block with expanded feature details and relationships to at least nearest neighbours

[NAMING, TIP]{OPTION} Optionally suffix the "focus" BDD for a Block with '.bdd' so that it won't clash with a corresponding IBD on diagram export. This is not a SysMLv1 concern, it is purely a workflow concern. It has the slight disadvantage that BDD may "indicated" twice.

[MODELLING, NAVIGATION, PATTERN, TIP, TOOL]{STRONG} Webel: UML/SysML: Navigation: ALWAYS offer a way out of a diagram (usually up a hierarchy, but possibly across) using a navigable symbol (linked to a diagram) and/or a diagram symbol. Avoid "cul-de-sacs"! [But beware of shared package cross-dependencies]
