QUALIFICATION
Defining, adding, modifying, or refining resource qualities.

QUALITY
A qualitative resource property set typically composed of a set of attributes that define that quality. The simplest qualities are single attributes. Resource qualities also define resource behavior. More complex qualities, a performance quality, for example, may have level, capability, objective, estimate, actual, formula, constraint, and other factor attributes. Dynamic Key Indicators (DKIs) are calculated qualities. Identification and classification are fundamental qualities for all resources as without them, we do not know what we know. Minds and computers cannot manage without identification and classification.

QUERY
Queries are extraction (e.g. select) and/or transformation (e.g. modify) information resource requests. The DNAOS resource query archetype is used for representing, managing, transforming, and persisting prepared XPATH, XQuery, and SQL based queries for reporting, extraction, and transform, for example.
