Reference To Data Table Library

Definition

The following conditions apply to instances of <Property Table Reference>.

  1. The <Property Table> instance specified by the <Property Table Reference> instance shall be a component of a <Data Table Library> instance.

  2. The <Property Table> instance shall contain an <Axis>, the axis_type of which corresponds to that specified by the <Property Table Reference>.

  3. The <Axis> instance thus specified shall have axis_value_count greater than or equal to (index_on_axis + 1), where index_on_axis is that specified by the <Property Table Reference> instance.

Rationale

By definition, a <Property Table Reference> specifies an N-1 dimensional "slice" of an N dimensional <Property Table> in a <Data Table Library>.

To define that slice, the <Axis> and "tick mark" value specified by the <Property Table Reference> shall correspond to part of the <Property Table> being referenced.
