Verification

Completeness: Not Applicable.

Consistency: Not Applicable.

Correctness: If provided, check that the model view is correct.

Examples/Notes

Note: Examples notations are the UML, ArchiMate and BPMN.

Note: The model view may already be included as part of the service standard required in SWIM-DEFN-120.
