Business DEX overview

Types of persons or organizations are categories of people or organizations having common characteristics or notional persons or organizations considered as a representative of such categories. In the context of this part of ISO10303, types of persons are defined chiefly in terms of experience and qualifications. Again, types of experience and qualifications are categories of experience and qualifications having common characteristics.

Information model overview

The EXPRESS-G for the approval model is shown in Figure 1 below and explained in the following sections.

NOTE 1   The EXPRESS-G is not complete. For the complete EXPRESS see the modules: Organization type and Type of person.

Figure 1 —  Representing representing person organization typical EXPRESS-G

Type of Person

The starting point for Type_of_person is Type_of_person_definition, which is the collector of the criteria used to define a Type_of_person. These criteria can be defined in terms of properties of the person, such as maximum height, or in terms of Experience or Qualification, and for an actual Person to qualify as meeting the Type_of_person_definition, they must meet all these criteria.

A Type_of_person is then a person meeting one or more of Type_of_person_definition. (The properties of Type_of_person_definition are ANDed, while the Type_of_person to Type_of_person_definition links are ORed, effectively allowing any combination of properties and experience). A Type_of_person without any definition is defined by the name and description.

It is also possible to relate one Type_of_person_definition to another, with the role of the relationship being defined by classification. The relationship Type_of_person_assignment is not currently used.

Experience

Qualification

The concept of a qualification, such as "exam passed" is recorded though Qualification_type. A Qualification

Characterization of representing person organization typical

Many of the constructs shown in Figure 1 can be characterized; which is to say that they may have approvals, classifications, conditions, dates or times, identifiers, justifications, persons or organizations, or properties assigned to them. The following sections detail the characterization of resource objects.

Assigning approvals

Approvals of types of qualifications, experience, and persons or of person type assignments are represented by the assignment of Approval objects to Experience_type, Qualification_type, Type_of_person, and Type_of_person_assignment objects using Approval_assignment objects.

NOTE 1   The assignment of approvals is described in the capability: C019: assigning_approvals.

Assigning classifications

The classification of types of qualifications, experience, and persons or of person type assignments is represented by the assignment of External_class objects to Experience_type, Qualification_type, Type_of_person, Type_of_person_assignment, Type_of_person_definition, Type_of_person_definition_required_attributes_relationship, and Type_of_person_definition_relationship objects using Approval_assignment objects.

Assigning dates and times

The date and/or time on/at which a relationship is established between a type of person and a particular person or a position within an organization is represented by the assignment of Date_time objects or Calendar_date objects to Type_of_person_assignment objects using Date_or_date_time_assignment objects.

NOTE 2   The assignment of date and times is described in the capability: C036: assigning_date_time.

Assigning identifers

The identification of types of experience, organization, qualification, and person is achieved by the linking of Identification_assignment objects to Experience_type, Organization_type, Qualification_type, and Type_of_person objects.

NOTE 3   The assignment of approvals is described in the capability: C001: assigning_identifiers.

Assigning locations

Locations of types of organizations and persons are represented by the assignment of Location objects to Organization_type and Type_of_person objects using Location_assignment objects.

Assigning persons and organizations

The responsibility for specifying a type of qualification or for establishing a relationship between a type of person and a particular person or a position within an organization is represented by the assignment of Organization and Person_in_organization objects to Qualification_type and Type_of_person_assignment objects using Organization_or_person_in_organization_assignment objects.

Capability templates

The following sections define a set of templates for the capability, where a template is a specification of a set of entities that need to be instantiated to represent a given set of information.

This section specifies the template referencing_person_typical.
