Capability EXPRESS information model

This section describes the EXPRESS information model for the capability.

From module : activity - using subset



TYPE activity_item = EXTENSIBLE GENERIC_ENTITY SELECT;
END_TYPE;


Activity

An Activity is the identification of the occurrence of an action that has taken place, is taking place, or is expected to take place in the future. The procedure executed during that Activity is identified with the Activity_method that is referred to by the chosen_method attribute.

EXAMPLE    Change, distilling, design, a process to drill a hole, and a task such as training someone, are examples of activities.

NOTE 1   Status information identifying the level of completion of each activity may be provided within an instance of Activity_status.

NOTE 2   The items that are affected by an Activity, for example as input or output, may be identified within an instance of Applied_activity_assignment.


ENTITY Activity;
  id : STRING;
  name : STRING;
  description : OPTIONAL STRING;
  chosen_method : Activity_method;
END_ENTITY;

id: the identifier that distinguishes the Activity.

name: the words by which the Activity is known.

description: the text that provides further information about the Activity. The value of the attribute need not be specified.

chosen_method: the Activity_method that specifies the procedure selected to carry out the Activity.


Activity_relationship

An Activity_relationship is a relationship between two instances of Activity.

EXAMPLE    The activity required to complete a work order, may be decomposed into a series of activities. Their corresponding instances would be related using instances of the Activity_relationship entity.


ENTITY Activity_relationship;
  name : STRING;
  description : OPTIONAL STRING;
  relating_activity : Activity;
  related_activity : Activity;
END_ENTITY;

name: the words by which the Activity_relationship is known.

description: the text that provides further information about the Activity_relationship. The value of the attribute need not be specified.

relating_activity:

the first of the instances of Activity that is part of the relationship.

NOTE 1   The relating_activity usually identifies the activity the definition of the related_activity is based on, for example, derived from or dependent on.

NOTE 2   The meaning of this attribute is defined by the name attribute.

related_activity:

the second instance of Activity that is part of the relationship.

NOTE 3   The related_activity usually identifies the Activity, which is based on the definition of the relating_activity.

NOTE 4   The meaning of this attribute is defined by the name attribute.


Activity_status

An Activity_status is the assignment of a status to an Activity .


ENTITY Activity_status;
  assigned_activity : Activity;
  status : STRING;
END_ENTITY;

assigned_activity: the Activity to which the Activity_status applies.

status: the label that provides a user interpretable designation for the level of completion of the Activity.


Applied_activity_assignment

An Applied_activity_assignment is an association of an Activity with product or activity data. It characterizes the role of the concepts represented with these data with respect to the activity.

NOTE    This entity should not be used to represent the association of an activity with the organizations that are responsible for its execution or its management. That kind of information can be represented with instances of Organization_or_person_in_organization_assignment .


ENTITY Applied_activity_assignment;
  assigned_activity : Activity;
  items : SET[1:?] OF activity_item;
  role : STRING;
END_ENTITY;

assigned_activity: the Activity that is considered.

items: the set of activity_item that are associated with the assigned_activity.

role:

the text that specifies the purpose of the association of the Applied_activity_assignment with product or activity data.

Where applicable, the following values shall be used for role:
