1 Definition
A region of an M-Instance with Space-Time attributes that is (exposed as) further subdivided.
2 Functional Requirements
An M-Location is a portion if an M-Instance space with the following characteristics:
- Has Space-Time attributes.
- May cover a limited Space and Time or be unlimited in Space and/or Time.
- Is an element of a hierarchy of M-Locations with a level of the hierarchy L > 0.
- It is composed of Locations of Level < L.
- Need not be continuous, i.e., a Level L M-Location may include space portions completely surrounded by M-Locations with Level < L.
- May have Rights attached governing the Process Actions that a Process may perform in the M-Location.
- An element of level L of an M-Location hierarchy may inherit only part of the Rights of a level L-1 element of the hierarchy.
A building is an example of M-Location with the following Levels:
- The full building has L=3
- An apartment has L=2
- A room has L=1
- A desk has L=0
