SystemDefinitionModel Schema Complex Types

The SystemDefinitionModel schema contains all the complex types in the following table.

Complex Type	Description
CommunicationDefinition	Defines the elements used to define client and server member definitions used in communication links.
CommunicationMember	Defines the paths to two endpoint members (client and server) used in a communication relationship in an SDM member definition.
ConstraintDefinition	Defines the elements in a constraint on a defined set of input values.
ConstraintGroup	Defines a group of different constraints to be evaluated together.
ConstraintMember	Defines a set of input values for a particular constraint definition.
ContainmentDefinition	Defines the parent and member definitions in a containment relationship.
ContainmentMember	Defines the path to a child member when it is contained by a parent member.
Definition	Defines the base set of elements for object, relationship, constraint, and flow definitions.
DelegationDefinition	Defines a pair of abstract endpoint definitions that participate in a delegation relationship.
DelegationMember	Defines the paths to two members used to set up a delegation relationship.
Description	Defines the elements that contain the information to describe an SDM element.
DescriptionEntry	Defines the elements used to create a description of an SDM member.
DesignData	Defines the element holding a schema instance that identifies and structures data for a design surface.
EndpointDefinition	Defines an SDM endpoint.
EndpointMember	Defines the element that creates a use for an endpoint definition.
Facet	Defines an element that holds the name of a facet of a setting (a subsetting used to read a value from or write a value to a setting).
FlowDefinition	Defines an element that contains a particular transform to be applied to a set of setting values.
FlowMember	Defines the elements that contain one or more input settings, one or more destination settings, and a flow definition.
HostingDefinition	Defines elements that contain guest and host member definitions in a hosting relationship.
HostingMember	Defines elements that hold the paths to guest and host members in a hosting relationship.
Import	Defines the elements that contain a namespace to be imported by another namespace, and an alias for the imported namespace.
Information	Defines the elements that contain general information about an .sdm document.
Input	Defines an input value for a flow or constraint.
ManagerDeclaration	Defines the elements that contain information used to define a manager.
Member	Defines the elements that contain information about a member definition in an .sdm file.
ObjectConstraint	Defines the elements used to define a constraint on one or both roles of a relationship.
ObjectConstraintGroup	Defines the element that contains a group of constraints on one or both roles of a relationship.
ObjectDefinition	Defines the elements that contain the base information to define the object which abstract and concrete object definitions extend.
ObjectMember	Defines the elements that define an abstract or concrete object definition.
Output	Defines the attributes that create a variation on the ValueTransfer value transfer.
ReferenceDefinition	Defines the elements that contain the definitions for the source and dependent members in a reference relationship between the members.
ReferenceMember	Defines the elements that contain paths to the source and dependent members used to set up a reference relationship.
RelationshipConstraint	Defines the elements that constrain the relationships in which an object can participate.
RelationshipConstraintGroup	Defines the elements that define a group of relationship constraints constraining the relationships in which an object can participate.
RelationshipDefinition	Defines the elements that contain all the information defining the relationship between two members.
RelationshipMember	Defines the relationship that will exist between object members when they are created.
ResourceDefinition	Defines an SDM resource.
ResourceMember	Defines the use for a resource definition.
SettingDefinitions	Defines the elements containing setting definitions used by setting members, including namespace declarations and namespace imports.
SettingMember	Defines the elements and attributes used to define a setting member.
SettingValue	Defines the attributes used in defining a single setting value for a setting declaration.
SettingValueList	Defines the list of attributes and elements used to define one or more setting values for a setting declared as a list.
StructuralConstraint	Defines the elements used to create the structure of a constraint.
SystemDefinition	Defines the attributes that define a system.
SystemMember	Defines a use for a system definition.
ValueTransfer	Defines the elements that contain information used to pass setting values into or out of a flow or constraint.
