Data Type (UML)
|
The format of information allowed for an attribute. |
|
|
|
|
|
Datatype (XML)
|
A datatype is a 3-tuple, consisting of a) a set of distinct values, called its value space, b) a set of lexical representations, called its lexical space, and c) a set of facets that characterize properties of the value space, individual values or lexical items. |
|
|
|
|
|
Derived Datatypes
|
Derived datatypes are those that are defined in terms of other datatypes. A datatype is said to be derived by restriction from another datatype when values for zero or more constraining facets are specified that serve to constrain its value space and/or its lexical space to a subset of those of its base type.Every datatype that is derived by restriction is defined in terms of an existing datatype, referred to as its base type. Base types can be either primitive or derived. |

Domain

Domain Analysis

|
Domain Model
|
Domain model describes objects, the data and mutual relationships among them that are required to represent a set of requirements of one or more PIPs. Represented in UML and XML in different stages of PIP production. |
