Collection SUM

A structured set of basic operations to access and maintain a collection of multiple items.

The SUM uses the four collection genres:

• Add -- Add an object to a collection of objects.

• Read -- Read an object from a collection of objects.

• Replace -- Replace an object in a collection of objects.

• Remove -- Remove an object from a collection of objects.

• In total this is (or looks like) nearly 40 pages to explain CRUD. I really think this is overkill, even though it is complete and accurate. People will either not use it or use it and never read (so might not use it properly). I propose we really cut these back to the core concepts (recall Phil's statement "genres = essence"), remove all of the good e-Framework practice and guideance in the text, and try not to reiterate too many things. I'd aim for around 2 pages for "Collection SUM", which is possibly not doable, but a good goal. I've had a go at cutting down "Read SG", attached, and I think this is sufficient (if not as complete as the original). LyleWinton
