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.
- Map
Documentation representation which summarizes a Global view of Enterprise Model like Process Map, Entity Map, Function Map, Software Service Map...
- Model
Documentation or Software which formalizes the real world. See Operation Model and Transformation Model.
- Multi Application Process
A Multi Application Process is a Process Pattern with several successive irreversible Operation Applications, which means several Operations.
Example: for the Business Process "Subscribe for a Loan" there exist successive Operation Applications: the bank agrees to loan, the Customer accepts the loan, the loan is activated at the Right time.
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.
