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.

This template describes how to represent the UK_Defence concept the constituents of a platform system and its equipment in terms of PLCS model elements (templates, entities, and reference data).

This information object represents the relationship between an identified platform system equipment, and an item that forms a part of it.

The following reference parameters are defined for this template:

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

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

%^target = $platform_system_equipment_constituent.prod_grp_membership%

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

The following parameter combinations specify a uniqueness constraint:

Unique constraint: Product group membership id

Each instance of the entity (Product_group_membership) within the data set shall be uniquely identified by a combination of the following parameters on this template (platform_system_equipment_constituent) namely: id, source_organization.
The instance is referenced by the following template parameter: prod_grp_membership.

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.

Product_group_membership

-- Mark the Product_group_membership entity as
-- referable when this template is used by binding it to the reference
-- parameter prod_grp_membership
%^prod_grp_membership = Product_group_membership%
Product_group_membership.of_group -> @related_pse
Product_group_membership.member -> @related_constituent
