In UBIK®, a Classification serves as definition to impose a certain behavior on other MetaClasses, and consequently on its instances. Similar to MetaClasses a Classification object possesses MetaProperties, each named uniquely and having a certain data type.
A MetaClass entirely implements a Classification only if it possesses corresponding MetaProperties of the same data type and name as the Classification.
Example
The SYSCLS GEO Classification defines a GEO property
| Name | Data type |
|---|---|
| GEO | Geographic Coordinate |
Once a MetaClass is classified with SYSCLS_GEO it is required to implement the GEO property, such that the object is known as POI.
