| <h3> |
| Applications |
| </h3> |
| <p> |
| A Configuration is often built around one or more Delivery Processes. A Delivery Process can be valid for different |
| Method Configurations, but each Configuration may include or exclude particular content for specific situations. For |
| example, a Delivery Process can be defined to include content for developing schemas for different types of database |
| management systems, such as content for RDBMS and OODBMS. When using such a Delivery Process, users may want to select |
| just the type of DBMS used within their project, and hence exclude all content pertaining to other types of DBMS. They |
| achieve this by selecting a Configuration which excludes the respective content or by creating a new one if none such |
| already exists.<br /> |
