IDENTIFICATION
Identification is a fundamentalresource quality. Likeclassificationalso, identification is a quality type that every resource requires by definition, as minds and computers cannot manage what they cannot identify. Identification is typically segmented and segments typically include namespaces and unique differentiators. There are many identification systems and they typically all work to some degree, but the confusion between inadequate and incomplete identification systems often seriously hinders effectiveness. Auniversalunique identification system would greatly contribute toKnowledge Architectureand management evolution, amongst other things. Building on existing identification standards,DNAOSpropose an integrated universal identification system.

INDEX MAP
AsDNAOS processinteractivedocumentsfor webpublishing, along with navigation, index maps are generated, for both reference and validation, including: sitemap, idmap, alphamap.

INFORMAL
Expressed in natural language. See alsoFormal,Semiformal.

INFORMATION
As minds and computers can only manage information, information is everything. Information is naturallyidentifiedandclassifiedintoresourcesthatmodeleverything we know. Information can beacquired, stored,analyzed, processed, transformed, managed, and shared. The value of information is enabled by sharing it, as without sharing, one way or another, it is worthless. Information is also the ground forknowledge.

INFORMATION RESOURCES
Minds and computers only process and share information and information is identified and classified into resources that model everything known and managed. These are information resources. IT and information processing are typicallyviewedas combining two main information resource types: 1)Application resources(e.g. Data) and 2)processingresources (e.g. Code).

INFRASTRUCTURE
Theintegratedbuilding blocks that support the goals of thearchitecture

INSTANTIATE
One of the 10 mainresource access types, determining resource instantiationcapabilitiesthat includemodification, as well as creation and instantiation (e.g. create)behaviors.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Knowledge resource property. Intellectual property is currently typically legally enforceable under Patent, Trademark, Copyright, and Trade Secret laws

INTEGRATION
A computing environment resource, component, and application optimizationprocessdesigned to assemble the parts into an efficient whole. This process is typically split into information (e.g. data) and application (e.g. code) integration. Both present interesting challenges and both are interdependent.

INTERACTION
Communication patternsbetweenresources.

INTERFACE
Processand practicecommunication patternsbuilt on and aroundstandard protocolsand metaphors.

INTERPRETATION
The formal specification of the meanings of names in the vocabulary of adialectin acontext. Interpretation determines the truth values of a dialectsentences, as well as the semantic values of its expressions. [ISO/IEC 24707:2007(E) inspired].

INVOICING
Part ofaccountingservices, invoicing is theprocessof computing and preparing invoices according tosales, contracts, projects, mandates,organization(s), for the given period, along with related policies. In multi-organization portals and contexts,DNAOSinvoicing can be produced for more than one organization while maintaining appropriatesecurityand privacy.
