The NAV-2 - Integrated Dictionary contains definitions of terms used in architecture descriptions. It is not necessarily a literal dictionary. It consists of textual definitions in the form of a glossary, a repository of architecture data, and the taxonomies and metadata (i.e., data about architecture data) of this data, including metadata for tailored products, associated with the architecture products developed. Metadata refers to architecture data types, which are possibly expressed in the form of a physical schema. In this document, architecture data types are referred to as architecture data elements.

The MEGA Modeling platform enables users to retrieve all items connected to a set of starting items. This feature is used to automatically build the entire dictionary from a given architecture. Two chapters are proposed in relation to each of the following situations:

The user wants to view the commented items

The user wants to see all items of the architecture in order to determine what must be commented
