An Item is a Data Type specified by MMM-TEC or other MPAI Technical Specifications for use in an M-Instance. All Items used by MMM-TEC V2.0 are listed in Table 1.
An Item may be produced:
- By the activity of a Process, e.g., by sensing Data and Qualifier from the Universe.
- As a result of a request made by a human through a Process of that human or directly to the M-Instance.
MMM-TEC V2.0 specifies or references 53 types of Items. Each Item is defined by the JSON Syntax and Semantics of a Data Type specified by MMM-TEC or other MPAI Technical Specifications.
An Item may optionally include:
- Data Qualifier signalling the relevant characteristics or technologies of a Data Type.
- Rights that can be exercised by certain Processes on an Item at certain M- or U-Locations at certain Times.
