POSC Specifications: Epicentre Version 3.0 Logical Data Model

OBJECT_ALIAS (abstract) (C028, C029)

(Rules) (Express)

Alternate names assigned to an object, usually defined by a company for local use or by an external organization for worldwide use. The name may or may not be globally unique but is unique for an object in a data store within the context of the naming system. At a site, if aliases are specified for objects then the all object identifiers should also be included as aliases. If an object has an alias then the naming system should be specified for the object. The alias identifier may be substituted for the identifier in the object as long as uniqueness and string length constraints are observed.
