=== Scopes ===
Scopes define what a {{UBIK}} object and what its properties look like to a {{UBIK}} satellite. Let's say we have a pump with a lot of properties (that can be used for automatic data processing), but these properties aren't of much use to a human user. In this case, if I publish such pump objects to the user's mobile client (aka. {{UBIK}} satellite) via ACM, I probably want to give the user a more convenient, specialized version of these objects, containing only useful properties. With Scopes, one can define what an abstract content object should look like. One could say, they are a post-processing filter filters for Meta Classes. Specifically, you can define which properties are visible, decide which classifications are published and configure rights (e.g. for writing a property value or creating instance objects for the Scope).
