CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 15414-04

Scope

This Recommendation | International Standard provides:
a) a language (the enterprise language) comprising concepts, structures, and rules for developing, representing, and reasoning about a specification of an ODP system from the enterprise viewpoint (as defined in ITU-T Rec. X.903 | ISO/IEC 10746-3);
b) rules which establish correspondences between the enterprise language and the other viewpoint languages (defined in ITU-T Rec. X.903 | ISO/IEC 10746-3) to ensure the overall consistency of a specification.

The language is specified to a level of detail sufficient to enable the determination of the compliance of any modelling language to this Recommendation | International Standard and to establish requirements for new specification techniques.

This Recommendation | International Standard is a refinement and extension of ITU-T Rec. X.903 | ISO/IEC 10746-3, clauses 5 and 10, but does not replace them.

This Recommendation | International Standard is intended for use in preparing enterprise viewpoint specifications of ODP systems, and in developing notations and tools to support such specifications.

As specified in clause 5 of ITU-T Rec. X.903 | ISO/IEC 10746-3, an enterprise viewpoint specification defines the purpose, scope and policies of an ODP system. [see also 3-5.0]
