Glossary
In this glossary, you will find a set of terms we have defined and reused extensively in our white papers. We have tried to use as few terms as possible. When several terms relate to the same concept, we define only one term and add the others as synonyms.
- Function
Action inside an End to End Process. A Function may reuse other Functions.
A Function is a Business Function or an Organization Function.
A Function software is also called a Software Service.
- Function Domain
List of Functions or Functional Domains. Allows to simplify description of Rights, Competencies and Duties.
- Function Kind
Enumerated Type which represents the Function Action:
“create”, “modify”, “delete”, “consult”, “show historic” are standard Actions for Descriptors, “suspend”, “execute”…. have been added for Operation Patterns, other specific Actions can also be defined for each Business Entity.
Most of the concepts developped on this website are further developped in our white papers. You can download any white paper freely. Please do not re-use without explicit permission.
