PANEL
ADNAOS GUIandpublishingrecursive construct; a panel can be used to hold thecontentof a page body or as part of another panel; panels can contain other panels,rowswith cells, and content.

PARALLEL
As in parallel processing or concurrent processing; efficient way ofprocessingdata, especially with parallel or concurrentXML streams, as often inSOAanddistributed applications.

PARTY
AresourceOwner resourcearchetypeincludingperson,organization, project, application, and typically modeled with agreenbackground.

PATTERN
A characteristic and reproducible set ofqualitiesand/orbehaviors.

PERIOD
A Time span, typically as defined by ISO 8601.DNAOStime, duration, and periods are based on ISO 8601. DNAOS repeating periods and intervals extend ISO 8601.

PERSON
Aparty archetype resource, specific for each and every person theportalor itsapplicationsneed to reference, includingusers, managers, clients, partners, suppliers, visitors, etc, if someone is referenced in any way, there has to be a corresponding person resource;DNAOSparty archetypes, includingcompanyand person, are assigned roles that provide them withapplicationsrights to other resources; party archetypes, person resources are also typically represented with a green background.

PERSPECTIVE
Perspectives arecontext-awaretransformation queriesthat determine "how"viewpointquery results are to beviewed. Perspectives are important model-to-view projection pipelinecomponentresourcesthat typically also define notations (e.g. languages) used for the resulting views. Perspectives may also typically define width, height, and depth of view, haze, focus, level of details, and projection mode (e.g. perspective, isomorphic, n-dimensional), as well as notations for the views. Perspective control (e.g. width, height, depth, angles, focus, mode) granularity is typicallyunlimitedwithin the model space oruniverse.

PHASE
Action sequence, typically part of anactivityand often delimited by transitionnotifications.

PIPELINE
Pipelines are architecturalprocessingandtransformation work-flowpatterns, whereresources(e.g information) areanalyzed(e.g.metadata), processed, routed, and transformed as theystreamthrough the pipeline, and where results ofsub-processesare passed as input to subsequent sub-processes. Pipeline environments are typicallyparallelizedwhere multiple pipelines can be defined to operate simultaneously, in parallel. Each pipeline is also typically branched into sub-pipelines that can also operate in parallel to each another.Transformationsand control points can be defined at any step in the pipeline environment. Pipelines provide unequaled flexibility and performance.

PLACE
A locationresource archetype, and typically modeled with agreenbackground.

POLICY
Relation qualitydefining the access constraints of aresourceon another one.

PORTAL
Portals collaborativedistributed network applicationenvironments.

PREDICATE
Syntacticroleplayed by a single component within anatomic sentence. The truth value of an atomic sentence in aninterpretationis determined by the functional extension of thedenotationof the predicate together with the denotations of the remaining components. Alinguistic object, analogous to a verb, which says something about aresourceor resources to whichterm(s)in thesentencerefer. [ISO/IEC 24707:2007(E) and ISO TC97/SC5/WG3 TR 9007 (1982) inspired].

PRIVILEGE
Privileges, likerights, define resource responsibilities.DNAOSprivileges are typically granted withresource entitlement,membership, andaccess controlassignments.

PROCESS
Behaviorencapsulationresources, processes areschedule(e.g. time/period/event based)relationsthat typically nest, embed,aggregate, coordinate,orchestrate, and use contributing sub-processes, andtasks. Processes are also characterized bywork-flowpatterns (e.g. sequencing, synchronization, concurrency,parallelization,notification).

PROCESSING
A computing actionanalyzingandtransformingdata and information for a purpose.

PRODUCT
Whatorganizationsproduce and market.

PROFILE
A collection of information on a specific subject, person, item, thing, place, etc; the profile is a structured informationentitywho's source information can bedistributedover a variety of systems, formats, computers, and locations;

PROJECT
DNAOSmanage differenttypesof project includingdocumentdevelopment for web and printpublishing,consulting and services, as well assalesof goods and solutions.

PROJECTING
Amodelingoperation that usesviewpointsandperspectivesto generateviewsofmodels.Projectionsare typically handled by acontroller process.

PROJECTION
The results ofprojecting modelsfromviewpoints, throughperspectives, to generate or produce modelviews. Projections are typicallypipelined processes, as views are produced from the perspectivetransformationsof the viewpoint extractionqueryresults. While viewpoints determine "what" model resources are to beviewed, perspectives determine "how" these selected resources are to be viewed.

PROJECTION MODE
The projection mode (e.g. perspective, isomorphic, n-dimensional) sets view mode characteristics to define how theprojected viewsare graphically represented (e.g. notational aspects).

PROPERTY
A property is a simple information structure that associates an identifying or naming token to a value. The most simplequalitiesmap to a single property. Property is also a general term used to refer toresources ownedin part or in whole by other resources.

PROPOSITION
A conceivable state of affairs concerningresourcesabout which it is possible to assert or deny that such a state of affairs holds for those resources. [ISO TC97/SC5/WG3 TR 9007 (1982)] inspired.

PROTOCOL
A set of conventions and coding methods for information exchange.

PUBLISH
Acompound processtoanalyze, interpret, layout, paginate, present, publish, and navigate structureddocumentsfor print (e.g. PDF) and interactivemedia(e.g. Web).
