4 Information requirements

This clause specifies the information requirements for the Certification application module. The information requirements are specified as the Application Reference Model (ARM) of this application module.

NOTE 1  A graphical representation of the information requirements is given in Annex C.

NOTE 2  The mapping specification is specified in 5.1. It shows how the information requirements are met by using common resources and constructs defined or imported in the MIM schema of this application module.

The following EXPRESS specification begins the Certification schema.

EXPRESS specification:

*)
SCHEMA Certification_arm;
(*

4.1 ARM type definition

This subclause specifies the ARM type for this application module. The ARM type and definition is specified below.

4.1.1 certification_item   EXPRESS-G

A certification_item type is an extensible list of alternate entity data types. It provides a mechanism to refer to instances of the data types included in the types that extend the certification_item type.

NOTE    This empty extensible select type requires extension in a further module, to ensure that any entity data type that refers to it can have a valid instantiation.

EXPRESS specification:

*)
TYPE certification_item = EXTENSIBLE GENERIC_ENTITY SELECT;
END_TYPE;
(*

4.2 ARM entity definitions

This subclause specifies the ARM entities for this module. Each ARM application entity is an atomic element that embodies a unique application concept and contains attributes specifying the data elements of the entity. The ARM entities and definitions are specified below.

4.2.1 Certification   EXPRESS-GMapping table

A Certification is a certificate. It asserts satisfaction of particular quality criteria.

NOTE    Certification information can be attached to any aspect of product or activity data.

EXPRESS specification:

*)
ENTITY Certification;
  name : STRING;
  description : OPTIONAL STRING;
  kind : STRING;
END_ENTITY;
(*

Attribute definitions:

name: the words by which the Certification is known.

EXAMPLE 1   'AP 214 certified' is an example of name that can be used to indicate a certification of a STEP interface.

EXAMPLE 2   'ISO 9000' is an example of name that can be used to indicate that a product has been developed following ISO 9000 directives.

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

kind: the text that identifies the type of the certification.

4.2.2 Certification_assignment   EXPRESS-GMapping table

A Certification_assignment is an association of a Certification with activity or product data.

EXAMPLE 1   'certified supplier' is an example of certification that may be granted to an organization by its contractor.

EXPRESS specification:

*)
ENTITY Certification_assignment;
  assigned_certification : Certification;
  items : SET[1:?] OF certification_item;
  role : STRING;
END_ENTITY;
(*

Attribute definitions:

assigned_certification: the Certification that is assigned to activity or product data.

items: the activity or product data to which the Certification is assigned.

role: the text that specifies the purpose of the association of the Certification with respect to the product or activity data it is granted to.

EXAMPLE 2   'Software acceptance' is an example of role that can be used to track the fact that an external product has been inspected before having been made available in an organization.
