4 Information requirements

This clause specifies the information requirements for the Description assignment application module. The information requirements are specified as the Application Reference Model (ARM) of this application module.

NOTE 1  A graphical representation of the information requirements is given in Annex C.

NOTE 2  The mapping specification is specified in 5.1. It shows how the information requirements are met by using common resources and constructs defined or imported in the MIM schema of this application module.

This clause defines the information requirements to which implementations shall conform using the EXPRESS language as defined in ISO 10303-11. The following begins the Description assignment schema.

EXPRESS specification:

*)
SCHEMA Description_assignment_arm;
(*

4.1 ARM type definition

This subclause specifies the ARM type for this application module. The ARM type and definition is specified below.

4.1.1 description_item   EXPRESS-G

The description_item type is an extensible list of alternate data types. Additional alternate data types are specified in select data types that extend the description_item type.

NOTE   This empty extensible select requires extension in a further module to ensure that entities that refer to it have at least one valid instantiation.

EXPRESS specification:

*)
TYPE description_item = EXTENSIBLE GENERIC_ENTITY SELECT;
END_TYPE;
(*

4.2 ARM entity definitions

This subclause specifies the ARM entities for this module. Each ARM application entity is an atomic element that embodies a unique application concept and contains attributes specifying the data elements of the entity. The ARM entities and definitions are specified below.

4.2.1 Description_text   EXPRESS-GMapping table

A Description_text is a set of words that describe something.

EXAMPLE    The same thing may have multiple descriptions associated with it. Relating both a short description and a long description to an operational activity or an organization, as required by the US DoD Architecture Framework, are examples of multiple descriptions applied to the same item.

EXPRESS specification:

*)
ENTITY Description_text;
  description : STRING;
END_ENTITY;
(*

Attribute definitions:

description: the text that constitutes the description

4.2.2 Description_text_assignment   EXPRESS-GMapping table

A Description_text_assignment is the assignment of a description to something.

EXPRESS specification:

*)
ENTITY Description_text_assignment;
  description : Description_text;
  items : SET[1:?] OF description_item;
END_ENTITY;
(*

Attribute definitions:

description: the text that constitutes the description

items: the set of items being described

4.2.3 Description_text_assignment_relationship   EXPRESS-GMapping table

A Description_text_assignment_relationship is a relationship between two Description_text_assignment objects.

EXPRESS specification:

*)
ENTITY Description_text_assignment_relationship;
  description : OPTIONAL STRING;
  id : OPTIONAL STRING;
  related : Description_text_assignment;
  relating : Description_text_assignment;
  relation_type : STRING;
WHERE
  WR1: relating :<>: related;
END_ENTITY;
(*

Attribute definitions:

description: the text or the set of texts that provide further information about the Description_text_assignment_relationship. The value of this attribute need not be specified.

id: the identifier or set of identifiers for the Description_text_assignment_relationship. The value of this attribute need not be specified.

related: the other object of Description_text_assignment that is part of the relationship.

relating: one object of Description_text_assignment that is part of the relationship.

relation_type: the meaning of the relationship.

Formal propositions:

WR1: the related and the relating must be different.
