/* How the ACM works */
=== Scopes ===
Scopes define what a {{UBIK}} object and 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 post-processing 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).
 
=== View and View Items ===
Last but not least, the {{UBIK}} satellites need to get Meta Definitions in order to interpret and use the content correctly. Meta Definitions describe (abstract) Meta Classes, Selective Lists, Units and rights as well as some information about the view structure, e.g. possible children of an element (in case the user wants to create a new object, like a picture for example).
The Meta Definitions are a result of the Scopes and the View for a specific Context. The customizer (you) has to publish these Meta Definitions actively though, using the [[ACM Manager]].
