Generic Information Model Artifact Definition Elements

Definition and Purpose

This document is, of itself, neither an Artifact Definition nor a Template

This document and the templates it "includes" define generic elements for inclusion in the SAIF Artifact Definitions of the RIM and RIM-derived models. The inclusion will be verbatim from the templates where the actual generic content is maintained.

=Key features of this document

This document:

structured using the Template:SAIF Artifact Definition
only selected sub-sections of that template are actually defined
sections that appear as being defined here are actually contained in a set of Wiki templates that are "included" in this document
where ever this template inclusion occurs, the name and span of that template will be indicated in large blue font

"Including" generic content on another Artifact Definition

To include a particular generic section, do the following:

Prepare the target document up to the point where the inclusion will occur
- Note: This should include the header for the subsection in question
On a new line insert the template reference that is included in the large blue font text surrounding the inclusion
- The template reference can be copied (select and Ctrl-C) from the normal viewing page for this document.
- The template reference looks like {{Template:Referenced Template Name}}
If you intend to extend a "list" (numbered or bullet) that is at the end of the generic content, simple place your new line immediately following the line with the template reference. Do not leave a blank line.
When the target document is displayed (Show Preview or Save Page) the content from the template will be included as the page is rendered. The content is not copied into the "source" for the target page.

Note: Do not attempt to use this document as a template. All content that is displayed is marked for exclusion, with exception of the template references that are packaged here.
