The
...
purpose
...
of
...
the
...
ODP
...
Enterprise
...
Language
...
is
...
to
...
define
...
scope,
...
purpose
...
and
...
business
...
context
...
for
...
a
...
system
...
to
...
be
...
designed,
...
including
...
the
...
definition
...
of
...
business
...
requirements
...
for
...
the
...
system,
...
key
...
stakeholders
...
and
...
how
...
these
...
stakeholders
...
interact
...
with
...
the
...
system.
...
The
...
key
...
modelling
...
concept
...
is
...
that
...
of
...
community
...
,
...
which
...
can
...
be
...
regarded
...
as
...
a
...
collaborative
...
arrangement
...
of
...
different
...
stakeholders
...
established
...
to
...
meet
...
their
...
mutual
...
objectives.
...
The
...
community
...
is
...
defined
...
through
...
a
...
contract
...
that
...
specifies:
...
- the
...
- objective
...
- of
...
- the
...
- community
...
- the
...
- roles
...
- involved,
...
- including
...
- behavior
...
- required
...
- for
...
- entities
...
- to
...
- take
...
- up
...
- the
...
- roles,
...
- thus
...
- realizing
...
- the
...
- behavior
...
- of
...
- the
...
- community;
...
- the
...
- entities
...
- taking
...
- roles
...
- can
...
- be
...
- people,
...
- organisations
...
- or
...
- systems
...
- the
...
- business
...
- services
...
- in
...
- the
...
- community,
...
- offered
...
- by
...
- certain
...
- roles
...
- (providers)
...
- to
...
- other
...
- roles
...
- (consumers)
...
- the
...
- interactions
...
- between
...
- roles
...
- in
...
- the
...
- community,
...
- including
...
- process
...
- as
...
- special
...
- kind
...
- of
...
- behavior
...
- the
...
- policies
...
- (legal,
...
- regulatory
...
- or
...
- organisational)
...
- that
...
- constrain
...
- the
...
- behavior
...
- of
...
- roles
...
- in
...
- the
...
- community
...
In
...
many
...
respects,
...
the
...
concept
...
of
...
community
...
is
...
similar
...
to
...
the
...
concept
...
of
...
UML
...
collaboration,
...
but
...
the
...
community
...
concept
...
adds
...
value
...
by
...
allowing
...
for
...
the
...
definition
...
of
...
policies
...
that
...
have
...
particular
...
importance
...
for
...
e-health
...
applications,
...
e.g.
...
consent,
...
privacy,
...
duty
...
of
...
care
...
etc.
...
The
...
concept
...
of
...
community
...
can
...
be
...
represented
...
through
...
appropriate
...
UML
...
concepts
...
as
...
defined
...
in
...
the
...
ISO
...
standard
...
UML
...
profile
...
for
...
ODP
...
[5
...
].
...
Several
...
UML-based
...
tools
...
provide
...
plug-ins
...
for
...
this
...
standard,
...
most
...
notably
...
Sparx
...
Enterprise
...
Architect
...
and
...
MagicDraw.

Figure
...
4.1-1
...
depicts
...
a
...
simplified
...
Federated
...
Repository
...
Community
...
using
...
UML
...
notation
...
and
...
its
...
ODP
...
stereotypes
...
as
...
defined
...
in
...
the
...
UML
...
profile
...
for
...
ODP.
...
The
...
community
...
includes
...
two
...
community
...
Roles:
...
User
...
and
...
Repository.
...
The
...
community
...
is
...
of
...
relevance
...
to
...
many
...
scenarios
...
currently
...
being
...
considered
...
by
...
the
...
requirements
...
elicitation
...
project,
...
but
...
we
...
use
...
the
...
"Federated
...
discovery,
...
searching,
...
and
...
data
...
aggregation"
...
scenario
...
for
...
illustrating
...
the
...
points
...
in
...
...
...
.
...
The
...
objective
...
of
...
this
...
community
...
is
...
to
...
support
...
access
...
to
...
the
...
Federated
...
Repository
...
system
...
by
...
various
...
types
...
of
...
users
...
(e.g.,
...
researchers
...
or
...
curators).
...
Note
...
that
...
there
...
is
...
a
...
UML
...
package
...
called
...
Policies
...
as
...
a
...
placeholder
...
for
...
policies
...
that
...
affect
...
the
...
behavior
...
of
...
entities
...
taking
...
roles
...
in
...
the
...
community.
