In den letzten Jahren ist eine Trendwende im Bereich der Geodatenmodellierung in Gange. Wurden früher die meisten konzeptionellen Geodatenmodelle anhand von ER-Diagrammen semantisch modelliert und im Anschluss im Rahmen des Implementierungsprozesses in ein logisches Datenbankschema übergeführt, so setzt sich in den letzten Jahren immer mehr der Trend zur modellgetriebenen Softwareentwicklung (M...

The European ECSS-E-40 standard for the aerospace industry includes portability as one of 16 types of non functional requirements. Portability requirements are typically described at the system level as non functional requirements, which may lead to specific portability-related functions to be implemented by software. According to the ECSS series of standards, portability is the capability of s...
