Dialectics

While the trivial and trade nomenclature in most cases has accidental character, the lUPAC Commission has worked out a series of rules [4] which allow the great majority of structures to be represented uniformly, though there still exists some ambiguity within this nomenclature. Thus, many structures can have more than one name. It is important that the rules of some dialects of the lUPAC systematic nomenclature are transformed into a program code. Thus, programs for generating the names from chemical structures, and vice versa (structures from names) have been created [5] (see Chapter II, Section 2 in the Handbook). 

It is the central part of modern Dialectics - the soul of all knowledge which is truly scientific - as taught by Hegel Encyclopaedia of the philosophical scienceSi 1830) and Engels [Dialectics of nature, 1879). And, to go back in time even further, combined opposites - Yin and Yang - are central to old Chinese philosophy and ancient popular wisdom.

Except for certain library routines used to drive the interface hardware and some system specific routines from the system library, all of the routines are written in a dialect of FORTRAN IV and they are sufficiently modular and portable to be adaptable to other combinations of computers and chromatographs.

The different dialects of XML (XHTML, KML) are constrained by XML schemas (W3C, 2004). These schemas are critical to the success of XML. They are used to ensure that an XML file adheres to a well-defined structure. Schemas are themselves XML files, which must conform to the XSD specification. Schema designers are free to develop constraints to varying degrees. Forcing an XML file to be compatible with a tightly-constrained schema frees developers from having to write their own data validation procedures. This leads to a great simplification of data manipulation software. 

As Marsha Linehan (1993) has noted, this personality disorder is typified by dialectical behavior (extremes, like love-hate, at either end of a particular behavioral spectrum, sometimes within the space of a few moments). Some professionals have great difficulty working with people who have this disorder. This is primarily because they do not set personal limits in professional interactions and... 

Warning and instructional signs and instruction should be primarily provided in the national language of the country of operation. They should be concise and direct. Use of jargon, slang or local dialect references should always be avoided, as these may not always be correctly interpreted. Abbreviations should be avoided unless the abbreviation is commonly known and used by the population, versus the descriptive word or words. 

However, freely adding individual stereotypes leads to inconsistent models. Rather than attach stereotypes to every construct in the picture, we establish a set of defaults a particular default meaning for each pictorial element without stereotypes, or a consistent family of stereotypes. This default set is a called a dialect. To specify which dialect a package should use, quote the dialect in the package tab. Naturally, the use of consistent dialects will simplify things but if the dialects have a common underlying translation (see... 

Section 9.8.3), you can even use custom dialects best suited to each portion of the problem (see Figure 9.40). 

Figure 9.40 Dialects of stereotypes and other notations in packages.

To close full circle, as perhaps you may have guessed by now, dialects and semantic rules themselves are defined within packages, although, as we ve said, consider them virtual until further notice. But here is a short example to show the idea. 

Semantic rules are expressed as templates a dialect contains nested packages for its semantic rules. Each rule translates a slightly higher-level notation into its equivalent lower-level one. Here, any line between two type boxes that contains an explicit stereotype means the same as inverse attributes (see Figure 9.41). So what should an association line mean if it has no stereotype tag To define a default, you identify the untagged feature with the appropriate tag9 (see Figure 9.42). 

In this fashion, we can build up a hierarchy of basic types and operators—not only the syntactic definitions but also their meanings And because the basics can be different for different modeling and programming languages—for example, not all have exactly the same idea of the passage of time—different packages can be supplied for users of different dialects and can be referenced as stereotypes. 

For example, layered architectures frequently use a special notation. A catalog of such architectural styles can be built in a way that s much like the use of frameworks in Section 9.8.2, Stereotypes and Dialects. 

Some informal and ad hoc notations are always useful as long as you recognize that they are informal they should sometimes be cast into a more precise form as their purpose becomes clear. Useful new formal notations also will no doubt be invented their semantics should be described clearly using frameworks, as illustrated in Section 9.8.3, Examples of Semantic Rules for a Dialect.
