Relationship).
Name mode - A parameter set while opening the dictionary, used to cause intrinsics to reference either
internal or external names when accessing dictionary items.
Name set - A group of names within the dictionary that includes names for any one of the following types
of dictionary definitions: domains, versions in the same domain, entity types, relationship classes,
attributes, scopes, and entity occurrences of a specific type that are located in the same domain.
Object-Clause - The user-defined name of the object. This is the specific target of the action specified by
the command.
Occurrence - A specific instance of an entity or relationship.
Open mode - One of four dictionary operating modes, set when opening the dictionary for use.
Owner scope - A scope that is directly associated with an object in the dictionary and has all rights to it,
because the scope has either created that object, or has been given ownership by the scope that created it
or previously owned it.
Parent Entity - The first entity in a relationship.
Password - A combination of up to 32 special or alphanumeric characters, and/or blanks used for user
identification purposes to limit access to data or objects within the dictionary.
Primary Name - The principal name of an entity, not a synonym, that is initially assigned when the
entity is created. Whenever an entity name is returned by System Dictionary, the primary name is
returned.
Relationship - A logically connected, ordered series of two to six entities, which belongs to a specific
Relationship Type.
Relationship class - The specific class of association or logical connection between the entities in a
relationship.
Relationship position - The logical order of a child entity (the second entity in a relationship) relative to
all other child entities for the same parent entity (the first entity in a relationship) of the same relationship
type.
Relationship type - An object in the dictionary structure that classifies relationship occurrences; a
logical connection between entity types specified by a series of two to six ordered entity types and a
relationship class. Each relationship type is further defined by an associated set of attributes.
Restructuring - A process similar to compiling. Restructuring incorporates all changes made to the
dictionary structure in a single session into the working dictionary, and reformats any dictionary
occurrences that are affected by those structure changes.
Scope - A security definition within the dictionary environment that sets the level of access a user has to
all objects in the dictionary. It includes up to six scope rights.
Scope Right - One of six specific capabilities associated with a scope. The scope right specifies which
dictionary components that scope is allowed to manipulate.
Security - A protection scheme within System Dictionary that limits access to objects in the dictionary to
authorized users. The primary elements of dictionary security are scopes In addition, dictionary domains
and occurrences each have a sensitivity, which further define their access by a specific scope.
Sensitivity - An access right associated with a dictionary domain or occurrence.
Special Attributes - The set of attributes that are automatically assigned to entity types and
relationship types when the types are created. Status - Information about the success or failure of an
