Semantic Abstraction Level in Model UI Fragment Properties@0.0.4

FragmentProperty: Semantic Abstraction LevelStatus: EXPERIMENTAL

Documentation

The semantic abstraction level denotes the level of detail of the representation of the displayed content entities. This property can be applied in combination with the represented entities property and the content entity assembly type property. For example, it may be stated, that the single referred content entity is being displayed as elementary which means that the fragment will not show any other content related to the content entity. However, the semantic abstraction level may state, that still the interior components of the content entity will be shown to a certain level of detail.

Enumerated Type

  • Block = 0
    A block representation is the most abstract one, it only shows the entities' border from a system point of view. The entity is simply represented as a block level element in order to display a logical entity structure, but without displaying its meaning, function or further structure. The Block element may allow the abstract display of the entity condition or state.
  • Main Function = 1
    The main function of the entity is being displayed. Usually, this is basically a block representation also, but however, annotated in a way that enables the interpretation of its main function or purpose within the system.
  • Main Components = 2
    The referred content entity is shown in a disassembled manner while still ensuring that its main structural elements are interpretable as belonging to the referred entity. Usually these main structural elements relate to different sub functions that are needed to fulfill the entities' main function. This is to show how the entity is designed to fulfill its task within the system on a basic level. Also the more detailed display of conditions is enabled if these only apply to a component's subsystem.
  • Sub Components = 3
    The level of detail of the referred entities' representation is chosen in a way that even subordinate functions or structural elements are being displayed. The entity is disassembled on a detalied level by displaying also auxilliary sub components that allow the display of internal preconditions and supply funtionality for the entities main function and/or main components.
