[Os-project-managers] Consent agenda item: Basis status

[Horand Gassmann]

Hi guys,

I think we agreed that the basis status should be stored through an  
array of index vectors, one for each basis status, and that the  
different status values should be

basic
atLower
atUpper
isFree
superbasic
unknown

I would like to propose that the index vector be stored as an  
IntVector and not a NonNegativeIntVector as in the present draft. The  
reason is the handling of objective rows. They can have a basis  
status, but their index values are negative. It seems too cumbersome  
to have to create both a BasisStatus and an ObjectiveBasisStatus type  
just for this distinction. I propose that we verify the sign  
restriction on the indices in code and document in the schema via  
annotation.

Agree/Disagree?

Thanks
