The word "umbrella" isn't used anywhere else in the document, and I'm not sure that the concept is mentioned elsewhere. I think it's enough to have just the first two sentences "Specifications can be defined in one or several ....in a well defined manner," but delete the clause "denoted below as umbrella specifications" along with the figure and the paragraph explaining the figure. The idea of a composite document isn't rocket science, and doesn't deserve this much space - at least not unless it played a more prominent role later in the document. 3957 1 karl 2005-03-03 19:43:51 +0000 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-qa-wg/2005Feb/0028.html KD will draft some new language on defining requirements for multi-specification documents [AI-20050214-5] and send it to the QA WG list. 3966 2 dom 2005-03-04 02:23:04 +0000 In addition, the WG agreed to remove the concept of umbrella specification from SpecGL, and has moved it as a more advanced topic in Variability in Specifications. 3926 3 dom 2005-03-21 14:14:48 +0000 The notion of umbrella spec has been removed from SpecGL, moved to Varaibility in Spec, and alluded to in the intro of SpecGL: "A specification is a set of technical requirements hat aim at defining a reliable interface for accomplishing a given task. Specifications can be defined in one document or as a coherent set of several documents, and can import requirements of other specifications with normative references." 3654 4 dom 2005-04-28 11:53:49 +0000 setting version to LC in case of future use
