To inactivate a

Gloss
Space true t component,

a new row is added, containing the same data as the final valid version of the

Gloss
Space true t component,

but with the

Gloss
Space true t active

field set to false and the timestamp in the

Specref
RefType (field) t effectiveTime

fi eld field indicating the nominal date of the release in which the final version ceased being valid.

...

The following example demonstrates how the history mechanism works on the

Specref
RefType file t Concept

, but the same rules apply equally well to the

Gloss
Space true t Description,

Gloss
Space true t Relationship

and

Gloss
Space true t Reference set

member files. In this example, the

Gloss
Space true t descriptions

associated with the

Specref
RefType (field) t moduleId

and

Specref
RefType (field) t definitionStatusId

have been shown in place of their

Specref
RefType (data type) t SCTID

values.

A new

Gloss
t concept

 (101291009) is ad ded added on the 1st July 2007:

In the next following release (on 1st January 2008), the

Gloss
Space true t concept

is moved from |Module 1| to |Module 2|. Because the moduleId field is not immutable, the

Gloss
Space true t concept

may be updated simply by adding a new record with the same Id.

...

In the next following release (on 1st July 2008), the

Gloss
Space true t concept

is changed from being

Gloss
Space true t Primitive

to being

Gloss
Space true t Fully defined.

...

In the next following release (on 1st January 2009), the

Gloss
Space true t concept

is deactivated:

...

1. At no stage in this process are previously written records ever amended. Once a record has been released in a

   Gloss
   Space true t release file,

   it will continue to be released in exactly the same form in future

   Gloss
   t release files.

2. Changes are only recorded at the point of release in the

   Gloss
   Space true t RF2

   Gloss
   Space true t release files.

   If a

   Gloss
   Space true t component

   record is changed a number of times between releases (during an edit and review process), only the most recently amended record will be appended to the

   Gloss
   Space true t release file,

   not individual records showing each separate edit to the released

   Gloss
   t component.

3. In the last example, as well as inactivating the concept (active=0), the

   Specref
   RefType (field) t definitionStatusId

   is changed from

   Concept
   t 900000000000073002|Defined| ShowFormat inline

   to  to

   Concept
   t 900000000000074008|Primitive|

   . In practice this change is not essential since the value of data columns is ignored when a

   Gloss
   Space true t component

   is inactive. Although the change is unnecessary and insignificant, it typically occurs since all the relationships of an inactive concept must also be inactive, and as a result, from the perspective of the authoring environment the concept cannot be regarded as

   Concept
   t 900000000000073002|Defined|

   .
