Documentation

The purpose of this catalog is to make concepts that are specified in arbitrary contexts or documents available to modelers within a development environment. For that, such concepts are listed including unique identifiers that can be used to refer to these concepts. For example for different software platform architectures or user interface technologies, usable identifiers are specified that may be shared, and thus, used consistently. Another example are concepts, terms, classes, or relations that are specified in standards such as from the DIN, ISO, EN, IEEE, etc. organizations. These concepts are defined in the standards, however, they are not referrable as there is no commonly defined address scheme. This catalog is probably the one with the most experimental status as some of the information has been used to specify properties elsewhere and the catalog entries have not been streamlined or properly developed. However, since these concepts may be referred to by case-studies, the catalog has not yet been reworked. In some cases, for the purpose of compactness, concept definitions within a concept category are just listed without further documentation or URL references being printed. The documentation page of the containing category may be surfed to in order to fetch an entry's identifier. The catalog is subdevided into the following parts: - The external concept category 'Plant Model Concepts' may be referred to from within a plant model in order to provide semantics. - The 'AAS Semantics' concepts may be used in conjunction with an AAS metamodel, if such a metamodel poses restrictions. E.g. a generic reference may provide the semantics of a type reference in the case of model elements not providing such a specialized reference feature or only too few. - The 'User Interfaces' category provides various extendable subcategories that provide valid values for value statements of properties that are defined in other categories. - The 'Standards' category provides referrable identifiers for concepts that are defined in some selected standards for the use in plant models and models referring to those plant models.
