Behaviour Example

The BEHAVIOUR template enables the interface designer to describe the semantics of the managed object classes, the attributes, etc. The behaviour definition is expressed in English. There have some been some attempts to make the behaviour definitions more formal, for example using formal methods and formal specification languages, but these have not been widely adopted.

        name  BEHAVIOUR
                DEFINED AS   description;
        REGISTERED AS  object identifier;

The description is simply a delimited text string. It is normally a plain English description.

The REGISTERED AS object identifier is a unique identity that is used in the protocol to identify this particular behaviour type. The REGISTERED AS clause is optional.
