[Stepmod-modap] Meaning of characterization?

[Rob B. <rob...@eu...>]

Hi

A number of modules use the word "characterization" in their scope
statements.

 

For example:

approval\module.xml

Line  32 -   <li><characterization> of an approval;</li>

 

event\module.xml

Line  28 -   <li><characterization> of an event;</li>

Line  29 -   <li><characterization> of a relationship between two
events;</li>

Line  30 -   <li><characterization> of an event with respect to another
event;</li>

 

product_identification\module.xml

Line  52 -  <li><characterization> of a product in a particular
domain;</li>

Line  75 -    <def>result of a change made on a product or on a
<characterization> of a product, of an activity or of any concept
related to a product or an activity.

 

I was wondering what that meant exactly?

Is it the characterization by properties?

Is it the characterization by the association of a date, time, person,
contract, certificate, approval?

Or is it a general term meaning that the concept is characterized in
some way?

 

Is it a defined STEP term?
