| <h1 class="topictitle1">Standard Method Library Overview</h1> |
| <div><p>A Method Library is a physical container for method plug-ins and |
| method configuration definitions. All method elements are stored in a method |
| library.</p> |
| <p>Much like a library has books, a method library has method plug-ins. Where |
| a library book is made up of sections or chapters and content within those |
| chapters, <a href="methodplugin.html#methodplugin">method |
| plug-ins</a> are made up of <a href="methodcontent.html#creatingreusablemethodcontents">method content</a> and processes. Method content contains |
| content packages and both <a href="methodcontentcategories.html#methodcontentcategories">standard and custom categories</a>, while processes structure |
| this content into process fragments called <a href="capabilitypattern.html#capabilitypattern">capability patterns</a> and full lifecycle processes called <a href="deliveryprocess.html">delivery processes</a>.</p> |
| <p>A method library also has one or more <a href="methodconfigurations.html#methodconfigurations">method configurations</a> that filter the library and provide |
| smaller working sets of library content for the end user.</p> |
