Description

This template describes how to reference the functionality realized by a zone.

Business perspective

This Information Object represents the relationship between a zone and the functions / system elements that are performed / located within it.

Business object definition

This Information Object represents the relationship between a zone and the functions / system elements that are performed / located within it.

Attribute description

Attribute type

Optionality

id This attribute provides the identification of the zone function. Identifier Mandatory
Identifier.id This is the value of the id attribute of the Identifier applied to the zone function. intrinsic Mandatory

Input parameters
The following input parameters are defined for this template:
realization_id (Type='STRING')
This is the identifier of the zone breakdown item functionality relationship
realization_id_type (Default=Zone_realization_identification_code,Type='CLASS')
This attribute is provides the type associated with the id of the Identifier given to the relationship. This must be one of the classes provided.
The following classes and their sub-classes can be used:
classifications: [Zone_realization_identification_code]
[warning:]Error RDL4: The URI urn:plcs:rdl:uk_defence is not listed in dexlib/data/refdata/rdl_index.xml
id_source_organization (Type='STRING')
The identifier of the organization that owns the id. It is assumed that this will be of type Organization_identification_code and not an Organization name.
zone_breakdown_item (Type= 'ENTITY (Zone_element_definition)' )
This is the zone breadkdown element definition that is realizing the function.
is_realization_of (Type= 'ENTITY (Functional_element_definition)' )
The functional element definition being realized.
Reference parameters
The following reference parameters are defined for this template:
realization_relationship(Type='ENTITY (View_definition_usage)')
Allow the View_definition_usage entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.
Note: The View_definition_usage entity can be referenced in a template path by:
%^target = $zone_function.realization_relationship%
where target is the parameter to which the View_definition_usage 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.
/representing_breakdown_element_realization(
    breakdown=@zone_breakdown_item,
    product=@is_realization_of,
    class_name='Zone_realization',
    class_ecl_id='urn:plcs:rdl:uk_defence')/
%^realization_relationship = $representing_breakdown_element_realization.bkdn_elem_real%

-- assign ID to breakdown_element_realization
/identifier(
    ID=@realization_id,
    source_organization=@id_source_organization,
    type=@realization_id_type,
    items=^realization_relationship)/
Instance diagrams
The instance diagram in Figure  4 shows an example of the EXPRESS entities and templates that are instantiated by the template:
/zone_function(realization_id='ZR-001-001', realization_id_type='Zone_realization_identification_code', id_source_organization='6421')/
(an illustration of the consolidated zone_function 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:
/zone_function(realization_id='ZR-001-001', realization_id_type='Zone_realization_identification_code', id_source_organization='6421')/

Characterizations
The following section details how the zone_function template can be optionally characterized by assigning other constructs to it. These are characterizations commonly applied to the template. The ISO 10303-239 EXPRESS model may enable other assignments to the entities instantiated by the template.
The EXPRESS-G diagram in Figure 6 shows the possible characterizations of the template "zone_function".


Figure 6 —  Characterizations for zone_function

Figure 6 —  Characterizations for zone_function

The following characterizations may apply:
Characterization Applicability date

NOTE   this characterization is optional.

A UK_Defence.zone_function may have effectivities assigned to it, such as an actual or planned effectivity, through the use of the following templates (or those based upon these): assigning_dated_effectivity. The following template calls show how these characterizations might be instantiated.

/assigning_dated_effectivity(start_year='2005', start_month='11', start_day='22', start_hour='15', start_minute='15', start_second='00', start_sense='ahead', start_hour_offset='2', role_class_name='Actual_effectivity', role_ecl_id='urn:plcs:rdl:std', items='@@@@')/
/assigning_dated_effectivity(start_year='2005', start_month='11', start_day='22', start_hour='15', start_minute='15', start_second='00', start_sense='ahead', start_hour_offset='2', role_class_name='Planned_effectivity', role_ecl_id='urn:plcs:rdl:std', items='@@@@')/
Characterization Property

NOTE   this characterization is optional.

A UK_Defence.zone_function may have specific properties assigned to it, through the use of the following templates (or those based upon these): UK_Defence.property. The following template calls show how these characterizations might be instantiated.

/property(property_identifier='', property_ecl_id='', property_value='', property_unit='', unit_ecl_id='', si_unit='', disposition='', a_property_of='')/
Characterization Status Assignment

NOTE   this characterization is optional.

An UK_Defence.zone_function may have one or more status assigned to it, through the use of the following templates (or those based upon these): UK_Defence.status_assignment. The following template calls show how these characterizations might be instantiated.

/status_assignment(assigned_status='', assigned_status_ecl_id='', ID='', ID_type='', ID_organization='', subject='', type='', type_ecl_id='')/
Characterization Document Association

NOTE   this characterization is optional.

An UK_Defence.zone_function may have specific documents assigned to it, through the use of the following templates (or those based upon these): UK_Defence.document_association , and the associated UK_Defence.document . The following template calls show how these characterizations might be instantiated.

/document_association(id='', type='', source_organization='', purpose='', related_document='', related_item='')/
