Object Process MethodologyObject process methodology (OPM) is a conceptual modeling language and methodology for capturing knowledge and designing systems, specified as ISO/PAS 19450. Based on a minimal universal ontology of stateful objects and processes that transform them, OPM can be used to formally specify the function, structure, and behavior of artificial and natural systems in a large variety of domains. OPM was conceived and developed by Dov Dori. The ideas underlying OPM were published for the first time in 1995.
Base de données orientée objetEn informatique, une base de données à objets (anglais object database) est un stock d'informations groupées sous forme de collections d'objets persistants. Une base de données est un ensemble d'informations connexes stockées dans un dispositif informatique. Dans une base de données à objets les informations sont regroupées sous forme d'objets : un conteneur logique qui englobe des informations et des traitements relatifs à une chose du monde réel.
Federated database systemA federated database system (FDBS) is a type of meta-database management system (DBMS), which transparently maps multiple autonomous database systems into a single federated database. The constituent databases are interconnected via a computer network and may be geographically decentralized. Since the constituent database systems remain autonomous, a federated database system is a contrastable alternative to the (sometimes daunting) task of merging several disparate databases.
Object–relational impedance mismatchObject–relational impedance mismatch creates difficulties going from data in relational data stores (relational database management system [“RDBMS”]) to usage in domain-driven object models. Object-orientation (OO) is the default method for business-centric design in programming languages. The problem lies in neither relational nor OO, but in the conceptual difficulty mapping between the two logic models. Both are logical models implementable differently on database servers, programming languages, design patterns, or other technologies.
Entity–attribute–value modelAn entity–attribute–value model (EAV) is a data model optimized for the space-efficient storage of sparse—or ad-hoc—property or data values, intended for situations where runtime usage patterns are arbitrary, subject to user variation, or otherwise unforseeable using a fixed design. The use-case targets applications which offer a large or rich system of defined property types, which are in turn appropriate to a wide set of entities, but where typically only a small, specific selection of these are instantated (or persisted) for a given entity.
PapierLe papier est un matériau en feuilles minces fabriqué à partir de fibres végétales. C'est un support d'écriture et de dessin avec de nombreuses autres applications. On appelle carton un papier épais et rigide. L'usage du papier est attesté il y a en Chine. Il s'y fabrique à partir de plantes riches en cellulose. L'invention de la xylographie au en augmente l'usage et la fabrication. À la même époque, il se diffuse dans le monde musulman, où les fabricants utilisent le chiffon, puis en Occident où on lui ajoute de la colle pour l'adapter à l'écriture à la plume.
Theory of descriptionsThe theory of descriptions is the philosopher Bertrand Russell's most significant contribution to the philosophy of language. It is also known as Russell's theory of descriptions (commonly abbreviated as RTD). In short, Russell argued that the syntactic form of descriptions (phrases that took the form of "The aardvark" and "An aardvark") is misleading, as it does not correlate their logical and/or semantic architecture.
Electronic system-level design and verificationElectronic system level (ESL) design and verification is an electronic design methodology, focused on higher abstraction level concerns. The term Electronic System Level or ESL Design was first defined by Gartner Dataquest, an EDA-industry-analysis firm, on February 1, 2001. It is defined in ESL Design and Verification as: "the utilization of appropriate abstractions in order to increase comprehension about a system, and to enhance the probability of a successful implementation of functionality in a cost-effective manner.
Software requirements specificationA software requirements specification (SRS) is a description of a software system to be developed. It is modeled after the business requirements specification (CONOPS). The software requirements specification lays out functional and non-functional requirements, and it may include a set of use cases that describe user interactions that the software must provide to the user for perfect interaction.
Description définieUne description définie est une expression de la forme le X, dans laquelle X est un nom commun ou une locution nominale décrivant un individu ou un objet déterminé, et un seul (par exemple, « le premier singe de l'espace » ou « le 42 président des États-Unis »). À la différence du nom propre, une description définie ne nomme pas un objet, mais affirme, selon Russell, qu'il existe un et un seul objet qui satisfait cette description. Russell a développé l'idée de description définie dans l'article On denoting (1905), en opposition à la philosophie du langage frégéenne.
