namespace
definition

<XML> set of unique identifiers

NOTE 1 to entry: Namespace is a mechanism to resolve naming conflicts between elements in an XML document when each comes from a different vocabulary. It allows the commingling of like tag names from different namespaces. A namespace identifies an XML vocabulary defined within a URN. An attribute on an element, attribute, or entity reference associates a short name with the URN that defines the namespace; that short name is then used as a prefix to the element, attribute, or entity reference name to uniquely identify the namespace.

Namespace references have scope. All child nodes beneath the node that specifies the namespace inherit that namespace. This allows nonqualified names to use the default namespace.

logical architecture
definition

NOTE It may be described either from an object oriented, or process oriented, perspective and describes the system according to its behaviour (and may also be called the "Functional Architecture" or"Functional Viewpoint" ). In an object oriented perspective a logical architecture elaborates the conceptual behaviour and in so doing defines some detail of the objects. In a process oriented perspective, the logical (or functional) architecture determines the nature of the system (in terms of functions and data stores), and describes its conceptual behaviour and the detail of what must be done to the inputs to produce the outputs. The logical architecture is independent of any hardware or software approach.

model
definition

representation of an entity from which the important elements have been abstracted by removing unimportant detail while at the same time retaining the interrelationship between the key elements of the whole

NOTE A model may be made more or less abstract by the successive suppression of detail such that the concepts and relationships come into enhanced focus and become more readily understood. However the process can be taken too far when the simplification has exceeded the threshold where a necessary understanding may be achieved. Thus the process of modelling is one of going only far enough to achieve the optimum understanding and insight — and no further.

NOTE A model is a way of representing something, other than in its natural state.

stereotype
definition

<UML> new type of modelling element that extends the semantics of the metamodel

NOTE 1 to entry: Stereotypes have to be based on certain existing types or classes in the metamodel. Stereotypes may extend the semantics, but not the structure of pre-existing types and classes. Certain stereotypes are predefined in the UML, others may be user defined. Stereotypes are one of three extensibility mechanisms in UML.

NOTE 2 to entry: The stereotype may specify additional constraints and tag definitions that apply to model elements. In addition, a stereotype may be used to indicate a difference in meaning or usage between two model elements with identical structure.

system architecture
definition

system architecture is a framework for ITS deployments; it is a single, high-level description of the major elements or objects and the interconnections among them

NOTE System architecture provides the framework around which the interfaces, specifications and detailed system designs can be defined. An architecture is not a product design, nor a detailed specification for physical deployment.

standard (extract)
term
terminator
definition

entity that is external to the system but with which the system communicates either to obtain inputs or to which it can send outputs

NOTE 1 Terminators may be split up into actors if necessary.

NOTE 2 In most ITS architectures, the terminators may be the same in both the functional and the physical viewpoints.

NOTE 3 In the US National ITS Architecture, a terminator defines the boundary of the system of interest. Each terminator may represent the people, systems and general environment that interface to ITS. The interfaces between terminators and the sub-systems and processes within the National ITS Architecture are defined, but no functional requirements are allocated to terminators. The logical and physical architecture views of the National ITS Architecture both have exactly the same set of terminators.
