Template:— event_property_relationship (evnt_prop_rel)
Context:— UK_Defence
Date: 2010/03/15 14:22:42
Revision: 1.3

This section specifies the template event_property_relationship.

NOTE  The template has been defined in the context of UK_Defence. 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 how to represent a relationship between an event and a property.

Business perspective

An Event Property Relationship is a relationship between an event and the property values that were extant at the time of the event.

Business object definition

This information object represents the relationship between an event and the property values that were extant at the time of the event.

The attributes of the Event Property Relationship object are tabled below.

Attribute name

Attribute description

Attribute type

Optionality

ID This is the identifier of the relationship. intrinsic Mandatory
Identifier.id This is the value of the id attribute of the Identifier applied to the event property relationshipe. intrinsic Mandatory
Identifier.type This attribute is the type associated with the id of the Identifier given to the event property relationship. event_property_relationship_id_code Mandatory
Identifier.source_organization This attribute is the value representing the source organization that provides the id of the Identifier given to the event property relationship. This value is assumed to be a type of Organization_identification_code. Organization_identification_code Mandatory
Related event This is the reference to the event for which the related property values were extant. Relationship to Event Mandatory
Related property value This is the reference to a property value that was extant at the time of the related event. Relationship to Property Mandatory

Input parameters
The following input parameters are defined for this template:
ID (Type='STRING')
This is the identifier of the event property relationship.
source_organization (Default=UK_Defence,Type='STRING')
The organization that created the associated identifier. Additionally a Person or Information System could be defined when either of these are the source; see Identifier template characterizations
related_event (Type= 'ENTITY (Activity_actual)' )
This is the reference to tthe event for which the related property values were extant.
related_property_value (Type= 'SELECT (activity_item)' )
This is the reference to a property value that was extant at the time of the related event.
Reference parameters
The following reference parameters are defined for this template:
appl_act_asst(Type='ENTITY (Applied_activity_assignment)')
Allow the Applied_activity_assignment entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.
Note: The Applied_activity_assignment entity can be referenced in a template path by:
%^target = $event_property_relationship.appl_act_asst%
where target is the parameter to which the Applied_activity_assignment 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.
/assigning_activity(
    role_class_name='event_property_relationship',
    role_ecl_id='urn:plcs:rdl:uk_defence',
    assigned_activity=@related_event,
    items=@related_property_value)/
%^appl_act_asst = $assigning_activity.appl_act%

-- ID
/identifier(
    ID=@ID,
    source_organization=@source_organization,
    type='event_property_relationship_id_code',
    items=^appl_act_asst)/
Instance diagrams
The instance diagram in Figure  4 shows an example of the EXPRESS entities and templates that are instantiated by the template:
/event_property_relationship(ID='', related_event='@29', related_property_value='@105')/
(an illustration of the consolidated event_property_relationship template is shown in Figure 5 below.)

The instance diagram in Figure 5 shows the graphic symbol for the template that is to be used in other instance diagrams. The example template is:
/event_property_relationship(ID='', related_event='@29', related_property_value='@105')/

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