Concept	Documentation
Physical Environment	The Physical Environment in the Physical Domain, outside the SOI scope, interacting with the SOI. E.g. air, dirt, sun, road.
Physical SOI	Represents the Physical SOI on Physical Level.
Physical Context Element	Abstract element of a System Context on Physical Level, outside the SOI scope, interacting with the SOI.
Physical External System	The Physical External System in the Physical Domain, outside the SOI scope, interacting with the SOI. E.g. power grid, mobile network, fresh water system (in a house).
Physical Interaction Point Property	Specifies a detail of an interaction point on Physical Level.
Software Element	Pure Software Elements. Similarity with the V-Model "software unit".
PIPPspecifyingDetailOfPIPD	Specifies the fact that a Physical Interaction Point Property is a detail of a Physical Interaction Point Definition.
PIPDdefiningDetailOfPIP	Specifies the fact that a Physical Interaction Point Definition defines the exchange capabilities of a Physical Interaction Point.
Physical Exchange Kind	Specification for any kind of physical item (energy, material, information, etc.) to be exchanged on Physical Level. This is the realization of the specification made by System Domain Kinds.
PEKtypingPIE	Specifies the fact that a Physical Exchange Kind defines the type of a Physical Item Exchange.
PEKtypingPIPP	Specifies the fact that a Physical Exchange Kind defines the type of a Physical Interaction Point Property.
Physical Connection	Specifies the connection of two physical interaction points. Note: Connections between physical components indicate that item flows are passed from one output of a source component to one or more inputs of target components.
PIPapplyingToPCE	Specifies the fact that a Physical Interaction Point applies to a Physical Context Element.
PCNallowingPIE	Specifies the fact that a Physical Item Exchange is allowed on the Physical Connection.
Physical Element	A composition of Hardware and Software Elements. Similarity with the V-Model segments and system. See [VXT].
PIPapplyingToAPE	Specifies the fact that a Physical Interaction Point applies to an Abstract Physical Element.
Physical Interaction Point	Specifies the existence of an interaction point on Physical Level.
Hardware Element	Pure Hardware Elements. Similarity with the V-Model "hardware unit".
Physical Item Exchange	Specifies the exchange that is to take place on a Physical Connection.
Abstract Physical Element	Abstract element representing physical structure items keeping properties and relations applicable to all physical items.
Physical Interaction Point Definition	Specifies the exchange capabilities of an interaction point on Physical Level.
Physical User	The Physical User is the representation for a human in the physical domain, outside the SOI scope, interacting with the SOI.
Physical Connector Compatibility	Specifies the fact that two Physical Interaction Point Definitions are compatible and how the Physical Interaction Point Properties are mapped.
PCCapplyingToPCN	Specifies the fact that a Physical Connector Compatibility Assertion shall apply to a Physical Connection.
PCCassertsCompatibiltyForPCPD	Specifies the Physical Interaction Point Definition the Physical Compatibility Assertion is valid for.
PCPOverPCP	Specifies the fact that a physical interaction point communicates / transfers / flows / over an other physical interaction point. Used to define layered physical interfaces, and show layer relationships between interfaces.
PCPPOverPCPP	Specifies the fact that a physical interaction point property communicates / transfers / flows / over an other physical interaction point property. Used to define layered physical interfaces, and show layer relationships between interface details.
PCPisPartOfPIPD	specifies that a physical interaction point can be a part of a physical interaction point definition. This fosters reuse and allows structuring of definitions.
