CALENDAR
A two levelSchedule.

CAPABILITY
Determined byentitlement resource relation quality, and defined byaccess types, capabilities are potential or allowed resourcebehavior.

CART
A traditional, persisted, on-line, user virtual shopping cart.

CASE
A transversalprocess. A process that cuts across other standard (e.g. business) processes. Often referred to in Adaptive Case Management (ACM), examples of common business cases include customers that are long-lived transversal processes cutting across most business processes, over extended periods and multiple transactions.

CATALOG
A catalog is aresourcecollection, typically for public or shared publication. Entities like eachDNAOS document(e.g. web site, application) and every portal partnerorganizationcan have and offer catalogs withproducts,services,bundles,subscriptions,specials, anddiscounts. Aggregated catalogs can be defined. Shoppingcartsandorder formstypically use catalogs for selection. Catalog can take different shapes and DNAOSmultimediacatalogs include streaming (e.g. video, audio)content"Jukebox" type catalogs. DNAOS catalogs and entries are alsoscheduleresources supporting time-based catalogs and entries, for example.

CELL
Aformand table organization and formatting logical structureresource. Cells are typically mapped to corresponding table cells in forms, bylayoutand publishing services. Cells can be of arbitrary complexity, arranged horizontally or vertically, and associated withqueryservices for initialization/loading (e.g. smart cells).DNAOS GUI componentsalso include smart cells.

CLASSIFICATION
Classification is a fundamentalresource qualityused to determine the applicablemeta-dataspecifications, structures, bindings, and constraints, for each classified resource. Likeidentificationalso, classification is a quality type that every resource requires by definition, as minds and computers cannot manage what they cannot classify. Classification is often segmented (e.g. class, type) and, to support intermediate agent routing and processing, requires private and public specifications when encrypted and shared across enterprise walls. There are many classification systems and they typically all work to some degree, but the confusion between inadequate and incomplete classification systems often seriously hinders effectiveness and collaboration. An integrateduniversalclassification system would greatly contribute toKnowledge Architecture, and management evolution, amongst other things. Building on existing classification standards,DNAOSpropose an integrated universal segmented classification system.

COLLABORATION
Aprocessallowing differentpartiesto work together, collaborate, and shareresourcesand processes to achieve a common goal. Collaboration is considered the most powerful productivity tool.

COLLABORATIVE
In support ofcollaboration, or collaboration friendly.

COLLECTION
Atypedand potentially recursive, nested, or hierarchical set or group of resources. Collection elements are a primary levelDNAOS documentandcontentorganization data structure.

COLUMN
A logicalreport contentorganization, formatting, and automation structureresource, corresponding to a report column.DNAOScolumns can be defined as presets to be included by multiple reports (e.g. smart columns).

COMMUNICATION
The art, science, and technology of transmitting, receiving, or exchanging information. Communication takes an infinity of forms and variations. Globally, it is the most sophisticated task known, and the most complex that humans are capable of. In brief summary and considered in a single direction, while the process is typically bi- or multi-directional, the communication process typically starts from abstract concepts that are visualized and than articulated by emitters, through their respective cultures, who will then encode them onto carrying media and protocols that can transport them to be correspondingly decoded by receivers who will try to visualize the articulated message and try to extract and understand the initial concepts through their respective cultures.

COMPANY
A hierarchicalDNAOS party archetype resourceused to define, represent, and identifyOrganizations.

COMPONENTS
Resources that is a part of other resources. Part of a resource.DNAOSalso provideGUIcomponent management services, with support for smart componentresources, includingpanels,rows,cells,queries, and smart virtual instruments.

CONCEPT
Aknowledge resourcecharacterized by a uniquequalitycombination. Resourcearchetypesare key concepts.

CONCEPTUAL DOMAIN
The set of validvalue meanings, expressed either as anenumerationor as adescription.

CONTENT
Information and knowledge resources, includingdocuments,profiles, andresources, typicallyprocessedbyapplications.

CONTEXT
Typically most relevant inoperation,rules,queries, andbehaviors, contexts areresourcesrelated to resources being considered.

CONTEXT RULE
contextrelatedrule.

CONTROL
One of the 10 mainresource access types, determining resourcelife-cyclecontrolcapabilitiesthat combineinstantiation,notification, andrecycling behaviors.

CONTROL APPLICATIONS
Controlapplicationsprovide remote control and management of electrical and electronic equipment, as well as system, and process information. Control applications are also typically coupled withmonitoringapplications so that processes can be both monitored and controlled, typically doubling the required number ofacquisition/monitoring/control channels and data streams. Information control indistributedenvironments introduces seriouscontentand information sharingsecurityconsiderations.

CONTROLLER
A component, process, service, or application responsible for controlling aprocess. Typically, as inmodelingand inMVC (Model-View-Controller), the controller is responsible forprojecting modelsontoviews, fromviewpoints, and throughperspectives.

CONSULT
One of the 10 mainresource access types, determining resource consulting (e.g. read)capabilitiesthat includereference behaviors, as well as detailed content read (e.g. read-only)access.

CONSULTING
An information sharingproject typefor managing andaccountingtime based work, includingtimesheets,invoicing, tracking,reporting.

CRUNCH
Specialized intensiveapplicationspecific data processing and computationtasks.

CSS
Cascading style sheets, a mostly web-based look&feelstandard.

COUPLING
The manner and degree ofresourceinterdependence.
