This section specifies the template assigning_organization_relationship.

NOTE The template has been defined in the context of NDLO. Refer to the business context for details of related templates.

NOTE An explanation of a template and the associated instantiation path is provided in the Template overview section.

Description

This template describes the relationship between two organization using the entity organisation_relationship with classification assignment.

Model diagrams

The EXPRESS-G diagram in Figure 1 shows the templates and EXPRESS entities that are required to represent the template "assigning_organization_relationship". The text highlighted in blue shows the template parameters.

Input parameters

The following input parameters are defined for this template:

related_organization (Type= 'SELECT (

Error ER1: The entity organization does not exist
organization)'

Error EXP-1: The EXPRESS select type organization
does not exist in data/schemas/ap239_arm_lf.xml.
)

relating_organization (Type= 'SELECT (

Error ER1: The entity organization does not exist
organization)'

Error EXP-1: The EXPRESS select type organization
does not exist in data/schemas/ap239_arm_lf.xml.
)

org_rel_class_name (Type='CLASS')

THE DESCRIPTION OF THE INPUT PARAMETER

The following classes and their sub-classes can be used:

classifications: "Organization_relationship" (urn:plcs:rdl:std:Organization_relationship)

org_rel_ecl_id (Default=urn:plcs:rdl:std,Type='URN')

The id of the External_class_library that stores the class used to classify the assignment role.

Reference parameters

The following reference parameters are defined for this template:

org_rel(Type='ENTITY (Organization_relationship)')

Allow the Organization_relationship entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.

Note: The Organization_relationship entity can be referenced in a template path by:

%^target = $assigning_organization_relationship.org_rel%

where target is the parameter to which the Organization_relationship is bound.

Instantiation path

The instantiation path shown below specifies the entities that are to be instantiated by the template.

A description of templates and the syntax for the instantiation path is provided in the Templates Help/Information section.

Organization_relationship

-- Mark the Organization_relationship entity as
-- referable when this template is used.
%^org_rel = Organization_relationship%
Organization_relationship.relation_type = '/IGNORE'
Organization_relationship.description = '/IGNORE'

-- provide the role of the identification by classifying the Identification_assignment
/assigning_reference_data(
    items=^org_rel,
    class_name=@org_rel_class_name,
    ecl_id=@org_rel_ecl_id)/

The following entities are instantiated with attributes as specified:

Entity in path	Value	Inherited from
Organization_relationship.relation_type	'/IGNORE'	—
Organization_relationship.description	'/IGNORE'	—

Instance diagrams

The instance diagram in Figure 3 shows an example of the EXPRESS entities and templates that are instantiated by the template:

/assigning_organization_relationship(items='#1', org_rel_class_name='...', org_rel_ecl_id='urn:plcs:rdl:std')/

(an illustration of the consolidated assigning_organization_relationship template is shown in Figure 4 below.)

Figure 3 — Entities instantiated by assigning_organization_relationship template

The instance diagram in Figure 4 shows the graphic symbol for the template that is to be used in other instance diagrams. The example template is:

/assigning_organization_relationship(items='#1', org_rel_class_name='...', org_rel_ecl_id='urn:plcs:rdl:std')/

Characterizations

No common characterizations of the template assigning_organization_relationship have been identified. However, the ISO 10303-239 EXPRESS model may enable other assignments to the entities instantiated by the template.
