OSI communications reference model comprises layers, each specifying particular network functions. Many protocols can implement the functions defined for a layer.

Non-Repudiation of Origin and Content
Prevents the originator from denying the origin and content of a message.
Origin: protects against any attempt by a message originator to deny sending a message; irrevocable proof that the originator sent the message.
Content: protects against any attempt by a message originator to deny the actual content of the sent message; irrevocable proof of what exact content was sent and that it did not get modified in any way from the original.
Non-Repudiation of Receipt
Prevents the responder from denying the fact that they received what has been sent by the originator. Protects against any attempt by a message recipient to deny receiving a message.
Glossary - Modular
Definitions for RosettaNet Modular PIPs (XML Schema)
Represents names in XML. A Name is a token that begins with a letter, underscore, or colon and continues with name characters (letters, digits, and other characters). This data type is derived from token.
Named Types
Named types may be defined once and used many times.
Namespaces
An XML namespace is a collection of names identified by a URI reference, which are used in XML documents as element types and attribute names.
NCName
Represents noncolonized names. This data type is the same as Name, except it cannot begin with a colon. This data type is derived from Name.
Non-Normative
An adjective to denote part/aspects of the specification that provide descriptive and human-readable representation of the Modular PIP specifications. Should a discrepancy occur between normative and non-normative documentations, please refer to the normative documentation.
normalizedString
Represents white space normalized strings. This data type is derived from string.
Normative
An adjective to denote parts/aspects of the specification that defines implementation compliance. For example, only XML Schema and XML are normative forms of representation of Modular PIP specifications.
