VIEW
Views result fromprojecting modelsfromviewpoints, throughperspectives. Note that views are not restricted to static visuals as they can also be hyper-linked, animated (2D, 3D, n-D), and multimedia. See alsoViewing.

VIEWING
Viewing is an analytical (sensory-based for humans)processused to considerresources. Note that "viewing" is not restricted to static visuals as it can also be hyper-linked, animated (2D, 3D, n-D), and multimedia -based. See alsomodel, andView.

VIEWPOINT
Inmodeling, viewpoints are context-aware extractionqueriesthat determine "what" modeledresourcesare to beviewed. Viewpoints define points of view, that are set in or around amodeluniverse (e.g. space, time), and from which models are considered andprojectedthrough aperspectives, to produceviewsthat support and address stakeholder (e.g. modeler) concerns. Viewpoints are key resources that define the first step in themodeling projection pipeline, selecting resources to be transformed through perspectives, onto views. Viewpoints are typically defined withunlimitedgranularity, within the model space anduniverse.

VIRTUAL
A powerfulprocessingconcept inDNAOSenvironments that applies to

• virtualprofilesandapplicationresourcesand that allows them to be made available as asecuredwhole, even if in reality they existdistributedin various formats, databases, and locations
• interactive and streamingmultimediacontents, as in virtual worlds, environments, and realities.
• server abstraction and management in a distributed server farm environment; for example, mainframes can be used to virtualize application servers.
