List of Data Flows
Definition of Data Flow
All of the Data Flows have names that start with letter codes that conform to the following "rules":(1) the initial letters of the Functional Area are used when the Data Flow totally resides in that Area, e.g. "psef";(2) when a Data Flow links Functions in one Functional Area with those in another, the initial letters of the starting and finishing Areas are used in that order, e.g. "psef.mpto";(3) when a Data Flow links a Function to a terminator, then the initial letters are "f" followed by the terminator acronym for Flows from terminators and "t" followed by the terminator for Flows to terminators;(4) when a terminator only links to a single Functional Area, then the Data Flow name starts with "To", "From", or "To/From", depending on whether the data is flowing in one or both directions, followed by the full terminator name. For further information about the methodology used in the Functional Architecture, please read Chapter 2, section 2.6.5 of its Main Document (D3.1). This can be viewed (and downloaded) from the LIBRARY page of the FRAME Web Site.
