... with automated tests.

As a project manager or project administrator I want to interactively create, update and delete SpecIF classes.

• Every SpecIF project defines dataTypes, propertyClasses, resourceClasses and statementClasses.
• So far, the classes must be edited with a text-editor in the specif-file in JSON format.
• Some changes are always possible even interactively, such as adding a class.
• Others may be in conflict with existing resource and statement instances. Such changes shall be explicitly forced including an update of all references and instances. If a propertyClass is removed, for example, it must be deleted from all referencing resourceClasses and statementClasses ... and the corresponding properties from all their instances.

... and list improvements to make for a production release.

As a Business Analyst or System Designer I would like to create or update UML Class-Diagrams and store it immediately in a semantic net using the SpecIF.
Idea: Use diagram-js, an online diagramming library upon which bpmn-io (Demo) is built.

Currently, the SpecIF-Viewer is hard to maintain and extend.
It might be simpler (and in sum less work) to migrate the frontend logic to a standard framework like Angular/Vue/React.

Currently Bootstrap 3 is used in general and Bootstrap3-dialog is used for modals.

• Update to Bootstrap 4.
• Review and improve responsive behavior (which is far from optimal, at present).
• Initially, the app has almost no HTML; the DOM is built under program control - the main structure by the module manager according to the module definitions in the main app edit.html resp view.html.

As a user I want to browse a rendered instance of any web-hosted specif or specifz file.

• The file can be hosted by a web-server such as Apache, Github, Sharepoint or a similar site.
• A specif or specifz file cannot be displayed directly in a browser.
• Any good idea to make the association from the file-type to executing the viewer code is welcome.

As a business analyst or system designer, I want to create and to update BPMN diagrams, store the result as BPMN-XML and update the semantic net using the SpecIF. The motivation is to avoid using a separate tool and the exporting/importing of the model.
Currently bpmn-js is used to transform an original BPMN-XML file 'under the hood' to an SVG which is then rendered by the browser.
Idea: Enable the plugin for editing BPMN models. When saved, the semantic net in SpecIF shall be updated accordingly.

Let the user choose whether to pass a markdown parser on input.

The most simple backend persistency without roles and permissions and without revisions can be achieved with Pouch-DB in the browser and Couch-DB in the backend. There has been a prototype implementation with Pouch-DB without backend, already. Any SpecIF item such as dataType, propertyType etc is stored as a separate document.

• With a Couch-DB backend we can make a demo to customers showing the SRC-Process (formerly HIS-Process), for example.
• Further limitation: Such an implementation does not support graph-search, of course.

As a Business Analyst or System Designer I would like to create or update UML State-Machines and store it immediately in a semantic net using the SpecIF.
Idea: Use diagram-js, an online diagramming library upon which bpmn-io (Demo) is built.

Transform a ReqIF data-set to SpecIF similarly to BPMN-XML to SpecIF.

• Current standard: ReqIF 1.2 (identical to 1.0, only documentation has changed)
• Also RIF 1.1a, which is still used by the Volkswagen Group
• Various example files for RIF 1.1a and ReqIF are available

As a Business Analyst or System Designer I would like to create or update a FMC Block-Diagram and store it immediately in a semantic net using the SpecIF.
Idea: Use diagram-js, an online diagramming library upon which bpmn-io (Demo) is built.

If a statement title is specified, it must supersede it's statementClass title,

Currently the browser address line is updated to allow using the browser back and forward buttons (via the browser history). When copying this link to other media such as documents, backlog items or e-mails, it does not work.

Explanation: Currently the Viewer/Editor has no backend and so the project must be loaded first, when a link is clicked.

Thus, a means is needed to produce a link with information to import a project ... and to jump to the desired view.

Thanks for the proposal @koppor.
