4.1.9.3 Project Document Information

Projects may define external documents, which may be used to attach arbitrary information to objects contained within the same project or referencing projects.

The following diagram shows the generic classes and relationships used when applying this concept. In addition, concepts may have particular importance to common or standardised industry practices and scenarios. For these specific usage scenarios, the table below shows a recommended list of general usage patterns that users may adopt.
