16、e from IHS-,-,-prEN 9300-004:20054 1 Scope The methods are divided to four main categories: 1) Scope and scenario description 2) Process description 3) Data 4) System Architecture For scope and scenario description, the modelling methods are based on Unified Modelling Language (UML) Use Case diagram
17、s. The process descriptions are done using Simplified Activity diagrams. Data modules are described by Express G diagrams. Rules and constraints are described via Express-Where-Rules. Further descriptions, for example, for a data dictionary, are based on tabular forms. To support the development of
18、a system architecture, the modelling method of UML Package diagrams is used. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

It simplifies the complex process o
24、f software design by making a “blueprint“ for construction. The diagrams are realized with the specification of UML version 1.4. According to UML definitions Use Case diagrams identify the functionality provided by the system (use cases), the users who interact with the system (actors), and the asso
25、ciation between users and functionality. Normally Use Cases are used in the analysis phase of software development to articulate the high-level requirements of the system. The primary goals of a Use Case diagram include: Providing a high-level view of what the system does Identifying the users (acto
26、rs) of the system Within this document, a Use Case diagram is used to apply the permutation of the requirements into specific scenarios. The following UML elements are used: Process Owner /ActorReference toa Use CaseUse Caseout of currentproject scopeDomain /SystemKey domain of scenarioinclude(case

28、n the environment of a specific system or domain. The diagram differs between in four types of use case representations: 1) use cases 2) references to a use (further detailed descriptions) 3) use cases which are relevant within this specific domain but not relevant for the project 4) use cases which
29、 are relevant for data exchange and interfacing (Within the use case description a combination of use case representation is possible) Copyright Association Europeene des Constructeurs de Materiel Aerospatial Provided by IHS under license with AECMANot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitt
30、ed without license from IHS-,-,-prEN 9300-004:20056 The dependencies between the use cases are described by different line style of arrows. Dashed line arrows describe the relationships between the use cases (include or extend). Solid line arrows describe the inheritance between the use cases, solid
31、 lines describe the interaction between actors and use cases. Figure 2 gives an example. Archiving SystemProducerStart ArchivingProcessInitialization ofarchivingprocessArchive digitaldocumentsImmediatearchiving atreleaseincludeFigure 2 Example UML Use case diagram The “start archiving process” is tr
32、iggered by the actor “producer”. The use case includes the use case “initialization of archiving process”, which inherits all functionalities of the sub cases “immediate archiving at release” and “archive digital documents”. Additionally “Archive digital documents” indicates a use case which is rele
33、vant for data exchange between two systems via an interface. 6 Method for process description: Simplified activity diagram The detailed description and analysis of scenarios and resulting processes are shown by simplified activity diagrams based on the UML and IDEF0. IDEF0 is a method designed to mo
34、del the decisions, actions, and activities of an organization or system. IDEF0 was derived from a well-established graphical language, the Structured Analysis and Design Technique (SADT). IDEF0 models help to organize the analysis of a system and to promote good communication between the analyst and
35、 the customer. IDEF0 is useful in establishing the scope of an analysis, especially a functional analysis.

36、,-,-prEN 9300-004:20057 The used elements for the process description are displayed in the following figure. activity (process )role decisiondatasystemmilestoneprocesssupporting processFigure 3 Example of a simplified activity diagram Every process step is started by a milestone. The use of mileston
37、es allows the integration of required references to and from other processes. In this example, the reference “validation properties”, coming from the milestone ”data preparation” displays the input information for process step “manual validation”. The simplified activity diagram identifies the parti
38、cipating roles via swim lanes. The swim lanes differentiate the various roles (persons) and systems (e.g. CAD system or the archive). The interaction between single activities within the process chain is represented by the data flow. In cases of decisions, the role has the chance to take corrective
39、action. For single process steps, a supporting process gives further information, e.g. about archiving policies for “generate package information”. To reduce the amount of information within one description level, the simplified activity diagrams are based on a hierarchical structure, following IDEF
40、0. A shadow behind a process element indicates a further detailed description for this specific process.

41、,-prEN 9300-004:20058 The hierarchy structure is displayed within the following figure. Figure 4 Hierarchy structure within simplified activity diagrams The simplified activity diagrams will be provided via a HTML Representation. The HTML Representation simplifies the handling, the search for inform
42、ation and the navigation through the process description and is divided into two main windows: Navigation bar Process description window Within the HTML representation of the process description, the different levels are connected via hyperlinks, so that navigation between the detail levels is possi
43、ble. After a click on a process step the display will change to the next level. The HTML representation offers the possibility of getting detailed information for a single process step (blue mark in the corner of the process symbol). Further functionalities are print and zoom.

An overview of the recom
46、mended usage of entities and attributes is provided in tabular form (Data dictionary). For example, ISO 10303 (STEP) AP 214 specifies the recommended archiving data format. 7.2 Express G diagrams An Express G Diagram describes formally the used data elements and their constraints. AECMA-STAN LOTAR u
47、ses the EXPRESS-G (ISO 10303-11 version 2) as modelling method. It visualizes the logical context and the relationships between the information objects. EXPRESS-G is not a programming language, instead it is characterized by a specification language whose based on the Entity Relationship Method 2. I
48、t is possible to model objects, as well as relationships and constraints between the objects.

Everything that is drawn in EXPRESS-G can be defined in EXPRESS. However, not everything that can be defined in EXPRESS can be drawn in EXPRESS-G. The following figure provides an overview of
