SB Pattern language for Data-models
Christopher Alexander writes the following regarding the features of his patterns[http://www.patternlanguage.com/archive/ieee/ieeetext.htm link]:
ยดยดFirst, it has a moral component. Second, it has the aim of creating coherence, morphological coherence in the things which are made with it. And third, it is generative: it allows people to create coherence, morally sound objects, and encourages and enables this process because of its emphasis on the coherence of the created whole. ,,
Our goal is to let patterns become a generative tool for making Data-model, you as a user are encouraged to augment and add patterns as you create your data-models.
Patterns
Grade: from 0(zero) to 2(two) stars. -**
Name: PageTitle written in CamelCase or [:Page title:Page_title] written with underscore as the delimiter, you are encouraged to use the underscore for legibility reasons, AND match it to the heading of the pattern. Try to think of a descriptive, but not to long name.
Context: Where in the process does this pattern apply, eg. overall planning or minute details. remember to include relevant patterns in-line in the context description.
Description of pattern: What does this pattern cover, the general subject no problems no solutions, just a description of the covered subject. This text is entered in Bold Font
Problem description:
Solution: What is the encouraged approach to solving the problem of this pattern? This text is entered in Bold Font
Consider next: What options do the use of this pattern bring about, what path does it send the user along. Include in-line references to likely patterns which will be influenced by this pattern choice.
