EricssonT2#13, User Profile Description8 Data Description Requirements (1) Re-usable description components –Equal/Similar parts where possible –Distributed responsibility between std. bodies –Some description components standardised some late defined Computer parseable Data Description Define a Default Transport Format Backward compatibly –Avoid to redo all existing data descriptions! Extendable –Start with Terminal Management data, later also other data

EricssonT2#13, User Profile Description9 Data Description Requirements (2) Expressiveness Balance –Expressiveness to describe data –Requirement on Terminal Management complexity Fulfil Requirements from –Use Cases –Security

EricssonT2#13, User Profile Description10 Working Assumption (1) One User Profile Is composed of User Profile Components Each User Profile Component, UPC, has –Identification –Semantic (i.e. meaning of the UPC) –Schema (i.e. vocabulary, UPC data type) –Values An User Profile Description consists of –List of User Profile Components –Set of schemas that defines the syntax and semantic of all UPC types

EricssonT2#13, User Profile Description11 Working Assumption (2) The rules how to create User Profile Descriptions are called a Data Description Framework The Data Description Framework is standardised Some of the User Profile Components are standardised Use XML where suitable

EricssonT2#13, User Profile Description12 Data Description Principles
