19.5.6 Consistent Naming of Error Sources

An attempt has been made to agree and utilise consistent naming conventions for error sources. Further details can be found in the Error Model Standardisation page of the ISCWSA website, www.iscwsa.org.

This naming convention has been used in this document, however it should be noted that same weighting functions should be preceded with the suffix, S, G, W or R depending on the associated propagation mode.

When designing a software implementation, the decision as to be made whether or not the propagation mode is tied directly to the error codes, or whether the propagation mode is defined in with the specific tool model. The latter case allows more flexibility to the aware user when creating tool models.
