Concept model driven validation

MRCM rules are now used to validate both the ontology and post-coordinated expressions.

Concept validation

MRCM violations are detected and displayed when validating a concept. Based on the MRCM rules, the concept validator can verify the following properties of a concept:

• the cardinality of its relationships with the expected type and destination
• the cardinality of its descriptions with the expected type
• the cardinality of its concrete domains with the expected name and type

The MRCM violations are displayed as errors in the Problems view with a short summary of the violated constraint.

Post-coordinated expression validation

Because post-coordinated expressions only define relationships, the MRCM based validation verifies only the cardinality of their relationships with the expected type and destination.
