4.2.70 Class_category_association

A Class_category_association is the association of a Specification_category with a Product_class. Additionally, this assignment specifies if the usage of one or more Specification objects belonging to this Specification_category, is mandatory or optional for all products of that Product_class.

NOTE The assignment of a Specification_category to a Product_class does not replace the association of single members of the Specification_category to the Product_class.

The data associated with a Class_category_association are the following:

4.2.70.1 associated_category

The associated_category specifies the Specification_category that is associated with the Product_class.

See class_category_association to specification_category for the application assertion.

4.2.70.2 associated_product_class

The associated_product_class specifies the Product_class for which the Specification_category is valid.

See class_category_association to product_class for the application assertion.

4.2.70.3 mandatory

The mandatory specifies whether the Specification objects referring to the associated Specification_category have to be used or may be used (optional) for products within the referenced Product_class. A value of 'true' indicates that the usage is mandatory.

EXAMPLE The specification category 'radio' may be associated 'optional' to the product class of a car; the specification category 'engine' is an example for a 'mandatory' association.
