1 Definition
The description of the capabilities of an M-Environment, an Identified subset of an M-Instance.
2 Functional Requirements
E-Capabilities may not exceed the M-Capabilities of the M-Instance it is part of.
An E-Environment may make none, some, or all its M-Capabilities available, e.g.,:
- Profile supported by the M-Environment.
- Data Formats supported by the Items.
- Data Formats supported by the Basic Data.
- Services supported (from a Taxonomy).
