Concepts that Can be Renamed
Some standards (e.g.: NAF, DoDAF, Archimate) use their own terminology. HOPEX concepts can be renamed according to the context in which they are used.
For example, the MetaClass called "Application System" in HOPEX IT Architecture standard product is called "Application Collaboration" MetaClass in Archimate Terminology.
The renaming mechanism implemented in HOPEX enables definition of different names carried by the same concept in its different contexts of use. Each user, depending on his/her profile and the context in which he/she is working, uses terminology with which he/she is familiar.
Functionalities proposed here are based on the Terminology notion.
