DR

Design Rule

IP CaT

A standardized, reusable solution to a design problem in a specific context within a problem space that provides value to the user.

Note: There are four (4) types of design rules:

a. A development method that supports the life cycle perspective;

b. A defined structure that supports descriptions of complex relations;

c. A detailed description of suggested technical solutions;

d. A proven and reusable solution for a generic problem.

DRP

Design Rule Package

IP CaT

A specific set of design rules that make up a solution package within a defined problem area.

SIOP

service interoperability point

EAPC(AC/322)D(2006)0002-REV1

A reference point within an architecture where one or more service interfaces are physically or logically instantiated to allow systems delivering the same service using different protocols to interoperate.

Note: A service interoperability point serves as the focal point for service interoperability between interconnected systems, and may be logically located at any level within the components, and its detailed technical specification is contained within a service interface profile.

SIP

service interface profile

EAPC(AC/322)D(2006)0002-REV1

A set of attributes that specifies the characteristics of a service interface between interoperable systems in the Networking and Information Infrastructure.

Note: A service interface profile is identified at a service interoperability point in an architecture system view.
