Unique constraint: Unique interface_connector_definition
Each instance of the entity (Interface_connector_definition) within the data set shall be uniquely identified by a combination of the following parameters on this template (representing_interface_definition) namely: intrf_con_id, intrf_con_id_class_name, intrf_con_id_ecl_id, intrf_con_org_id, intrf_con_org_id_class_name, intrf_con_org_id_ecl_id, intrf_con_vn_id, intrf_con_vn_id_class_name, intrf_con_vn_id_ecl_id, intrf_con_vn_org_id, intrf_con_vn_org_id_class_name, intrf_con_vn_org_id_ecl_id, domain, domain_ecl_id, life_cycle_stage, life_cycle_stage_ecl_id.

Instance diagrams
The instance diagram in Figure  3 shows an example of the EXPRESS entities and templates that are instantiated by the template:
/representing_interface_occurrence(intrf_con_occ_id='ICO001', intrf_con_occ_id_class_name='Interface_connector_occurrence_identification_code', intrf_con_occ_id_ecl_id='urn:plcs:rdl:std', intrf_con_occ_org_id='Interfaces Ltd', intrf_con_occ_org_id_class_name='Organization_name', intrf_con_occ_org_id_ecl_id='urn:plcs:rdl:std', intrf_def='@24', assmb_struc='@77')/
(an illustration of the consolidated representing_interface_occurrence template is shown in Figure 4 below.)

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:
/representing_interface_occurrence(intrf_con_occ_id='ICO001', intrf_con_occ_id_class_name='Interface_connector_occurrence_identification_code', intrf_con_occ_id_ecl_id='urn:plcs:rdl:std', intrf_con_occ_org_id='Interfaces Ltd', intrf_con_occ_org_id_class_name='Organization_name', intrf_con_occ_org_id_ecl_id='urn:plcs:rdl:std', intrf_def='@24', assmb_struc='@77')/

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