Context:— UK_Defence
Date: 2009/04/17 11:15:01
Revision: 1.5

This section specifies the template recommended_human_resources.

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 the UK_Defence concept of recommended human resources in terms of PLCS model elements (templates, entities, and reference data).

Business perspective

This information object identifies the recommended human resources required, over a defined period of time, to support the Platform, system and equipment for which the associated Support Solution Definition was developed.

Input parameters
The following input parameters are defined for this template:
assumptions (Type= 'ENTITY (Document_version)' , Optional)
The related assumptions.
constraints (Type= 'ENTITY (Requirement_view_definition)' , Optional)
The related constraints.
id (Type='STRING')
The identifier applied to the recommended human resources.
source_organization (Type='STRING')
The organization or information system that created the associated identifier. Alternatively this could be set to /NULL when Person or Information System is the source; see Identifier template characterizations.
name (Type='STRING')
The name of the human resources.
person_types (Type= 'ENTITY (Required_resource)' )
The recommended human resource.
related_support_solution (Type= 'ENTITY (Document_version)' )
The related support solution.
time_period (Type='STRING')
The time period of the recommendation.
time_period_units (Default=Man_hour,Type='CLASS', Optional)
The time for which the resource is allocated to the activity.
The following classes and their sub-classes can be used:
classifications: "Time_unit" (urn:plcs:rdl:std:Time_unit), "Context_dependent_unit" (urn:plcs:rdl:std:Context_dependent_unit)
version (Type='STRING')
The version of the recommendation.
Reference parameters
The following reference parameters are defined for this template:
human_res_req_res_spec(Type='ENTITY (Required_resource_by_specification)')
Allow the Required_resource_by_specification entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.
Note: The Required_resource_by_specification entity can be referenced in a template path by:
%^target = $recommended_human_resources.human_res_req_res_spec%
where target is the parameter to which the Required_resource_by_specification 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.
