The AttributeProfile package provides the capability of specifying attribution by class type for the major RECORDS MANAGEMENT classes. This enables attribution based on the business context of the RECORDS MANAGEMENT environment allowing attribution according to such standards as DoD 5015.2, Dublin Core, etc. A value of an attribute associated with an AttributableObject. The RMSAttributeDefn on which the AttributeValue is based. The string representing the value of the attribute of the AttributableObject The date/time that the value of the AttributableObject was set. The superceding AttributeValue for a chronicled attribute. The superceded AttributeValue for a chronicled attribute. A profile of attribute definitions that may apply to AttributableObject's under organizational, ad hoc, or de jure standards or conventions. Textual description of the DataProfile The unique name of the data profile. The version of the DataProfile The DataProfile of which the DataProfileAttrDefn is a member. The specialization class type of the Attributable object which aggregates the set of attributes as defined by the DataProfileAttrDefn's that can be assigned as AttributeValue's to an AttributableObject. The object that is attributed. The definition of an attribute that applies to the AttibutableClassType Unique Identifier The name of the records management domain classes whose objects can be assigned AttributeValue's if defined in a DataProfile. An object that can be attributed through the AttributeProfile services. The type of the object that is attributed. The attributed object. A member of a DataProfile that describes an attribute that is applicable to a specific AttributableClassType. If the object specified by a DataProfileAttrDefn is a RecordPart, it must specify oneor more DocumentType's to which the attribute applies. The class of object to which the DataProfileAttrDefn applies Textual description of the attribute. The AttributableClassType to which the DataProfileAttrDefn applies. When .chronicled and .updateable = "True" , a new AttributeValue of the same RMSAttributeDefn may be created and linked to the previous one through the next/previous association. The DocumentType's that makes the DataProfileAttrDefn eligible for use on a RecordPart. The name of the profile, unique in the context of its DataProfile. There may be multiple DataProfileAttrDefn's with the same name if they are in different DataProfile's If "True", the object's AttributeValue conformant to this definition may be removed (deleted). If "True", the object must be provided an AttributeValue conformant to this definition at time of creation. If "True", the object's AttributeValue conformant to this definition must be present before final disposition (Transfer or Destroy) can be performed on the ManagedRecord associated with an object with this AttributeValue. If "True", the object's AttributeValue conformant to this definition must be present for management of the ManagedRecord associated with an object with this AttributeValue. If "True", the object's AttributeValue conformant to this definition may be updated. In the case that the value is not chronicled, the .attributeValue may be changed with new .dateSet, and .party. In the case that the value is chronicled, a new AttributeValue of the same RMSAttributeDefn is created and linked to the previous one through the next/previous association. The AttributeValue which is based on the RMSAttributeDefn The classes whose instances can be attributed through an RMSDataProfile, i.e., be assigned AttributeValue's. ManagedRecord is attibutable ProvenanceAssociation is attibutable. Annotation is attributable. RecordPart is attributable. The type of the attribute.
