EXPRESS specification:
*)
SCHEMA Description_assignment_arm;
(*
This subclause specifies the ARM type for this application module. The ARM type and definition is specified below.

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.

GENERIC_ENTITY
SELECT;
END_TYPE;
(*
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.


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.
