For a city, SERVICEs might include * energy provision * waste collection * licensing * car parking * removing abandoned vehicles and so on. A SERVICE is the responsibility of an ORGANIZATION or an individual PERSON. The concepts of ORGANIZATION and PERSON are combined into the concept AGENT. The AGENT providing a SERVICE is not necessarily the same as the AGENT responsible for it. A SERVICE will be targeted for use by a COMMUNITY which might be, for example * the residents of a city * the long term unemployed * commuters * families and so on. As both COMMUNITY, and SERVICE are sub-concepts of ITEM, their STATEs can be recorded over time. For SERVICE, this enables actual and TARGET values to be recorded for throughput and performance, for example: * the number of abandoned vehicles reported over a period * the average time taken to remove a vehicle SERVICEs are often constrained by RULES such as * legislation * eligibility * terms and conditions and so on A SERVICE implements one or more METHODs, which might be re-used in other SERVICEs. SERVICEs from many AGENTs can be grouped together into FUNCTIONs. FUNCTION is a sub-concept of COLLECTION. A FUNCTION can list the services that serve a particular COMMUNITY, for example * Waste Management (FUNCTION) might contain SERVICEs for 'Refuse Collection', 'Recycling', 'Waste Disposal', and those SERVICEs might be provided from many ORGANISATIONs in the city. |
