Hi, one of the topics from the last virtual interim that needs further discussion is the ambiguity of the term "data tree". In 6020bis, it is used with three different meanings:
1. Explicit definition in Sec. 3: "The instantiated tree of configuration and state data on a device." 2. In many cases, it is used to denote *any* YANG-modelled tree, i.e. including RPC input/output data and notification. An example is the definition of container, also in Sec. 3: "An interior data node that exists in at most one instance in the data tree." 3. In a few other cases, it is used in a more restricted sense of a *configuration* data tree, for example in sec. 4.2.7: "When a node from one case is created in the data tree, all nodes from all other cases are implicitly deleted." In my review of 6020bis-06 I proposed to use "data tree" only in the meaning #2, that is: OLD o data tree: The instantiated tree of configuration and state data on a device. NEW o data tree: The instantiated tree of configuration, state data, combined configuration and state data, RPC input or output, or notification. We could use "configuration data tree" for #3, but a special term would probably also be needed for #1. Comments, suggestions?
