ObjectIsReferencedOnDocument

Description

The term ‘object’ in modelling patterns is used as term for instances of entity type Coipo. This modelling pattern allows to express that an object (a ClassOfInanimatePhysicalObject found on process flow diagrams) is referred to on a document. No information about the type of reference is made - it could be symbolic, textual or both. It is assumed that, while parsing the information about the object from a data file, an entity for the underlying document can be found or is created in a database that contains information about documents.

Definition

A Coipo (x1) is referenced on a document (x2).
