| * A Method Package is an abstract class for packaging Method Elements. All Method Elements shall be located in exactly one of Method Package's concrete specializations (e.g. Content Package). Method Package defines common properties for all of its specializations. Elements are organized in Method Packages to structure large scale of method content and processes as well as to define a mechanism for reuse. Method Elements from one package can reuse element from other packages by defining a reusedPackages link. For example, a work product defined in one package can be used as an input for Tasks defined in other packages. By reusing it from one common place (i.e. the package in which it has been defined) ensures that no redundant definitions of the same elements are required. Also maintenance of method content is greatly improved as changes can be performed in only one place. Note, that other packages will introduce more specializations of Method Package, e.g. Process Package and Process Component. |
