Activity_method

NOTE 1   There may be more than one method for producing a required result

NOTE 2   This definition may be used to characterize a way to resolve a request for action. The concept of action request is dealt with in module Work request.


ENTITY Activity_method;
  name : STRING;
  description : OPTIONAL STRING;
  consequence : OPTIONAL STRING;
  purpose : STRING;
END_ENTITY;


name: the words by which the Activity_method is known.

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

consequence:

the text that describes the results of application of this method. The value of this attribute need not be specified.

purpose: the text that provides an informal description of the reason for the Activity_method .

Task_method

NOTE    The task method may be implemented using people, machines or a combination.


ENTITY Task_method
  SUBTYPE OF (Activity_method);
  objective : SET[0:?] OF Task_objective;
END_ENTITY;


objective: the intended result or results of the task.

Task_method_relationship

NOTE    The nature of the relationship is determined from its classification.


ENTITY Task_method_relationship
  SUBTYPE OF (Activity_method_relationship);
  SELF\Activity_method_relationship.relating_method : Task_method;
  SELF\Activity_method_relationship.related_method : Task_method;
END_ENTITY;


relating_method: one of the instances of Task_methods that is a part of the relationship.

related_method: the other instance of Task_method that is a part of the relationship. If one element of the relationship is dependent upon the other, this attribute shall be the dependent one.

Task_method_version


ENTITY Task_method_version
  SUBTYPE OF (Activity_method);
  content : OPTIONAL Task_element;
  of_task_method : Task_method;
END_ENTITY;


content: the way in which the task is to be carried out. The value of this attribute need not be specified.

of_task_method: the Task_method which this is a version of.

Task_method_version_relationship


ENTITY Task_method_version_relationship
  SUBTYPE OF (Activity_method_relationship);
  SELF\Activity_method_relationship.relating_method RENAMED relating_task_method : Task_method_version;
  SELF\Activity_method_relationship.related_method RENAMED related_task_method : Task_method_version;
END_ENTITY;


relating_task_method: one instance of Task_method_version that is a part of the relationship

related_task_method: the other instance of Task_method_version that is a part of the relationship. If one element of the relationship is dependent upon the other, this attribute shall be the dependent one.

Task_objective

NOTE    More than one Task_method may be defined for a given objective, if there can be several ways to accomplish the objective.


ENTITY Task_objective;
  name : STRING;
  description : STRING;
END_ENTITY;


name: the word or group of words by which the Task_objective is known.

description: the text that provides further information about the Task_objective.
